Today's
teachers like to do most of their training on their own
computers in their own surroundings, where courses can
be tailored to fit their needs.
BITS
can tailor-make a course for your individual school, whether
for everyone (NOF training or Inset Days), the ICT coordinator,
classroom assistants, governors, helpers or senior management.
Working as a Partner
with GLPD providing NOF training
BITS are working alongside Granada Learning in the counties
of Worcester, Hereford and Gloucester to provide the New
Opportunity Funding Training (NOF). If you require any further
advice regarding this training please email or ring Chris
or contact Granada Learning via our directory of related

Pre-Ofsted Inspections
or Audit
BITS can audit your hardware and software prior to an inspection
or simply to keep you up to date. We can prepare a five year
plan of spending to add to your school plan.
This usually takes the following form
Up to a day is spent in on site during
which time we will visit every classroom to obtain relevant
information.
A meeting will be organised between BITS
staff and the ICT coordinator
A written report will be sent to the school
within a month. This will highlight areas of strength and
weaknesses and will suggest a way forward.
Post-Ofsted Support
Following an Ofsted
BITS can work with your staff to develop a way forward. These
sessions can be twilight or InSET days.
Working With Teachers
BITS have been working
in schools training teachers since the late 80's. We have very
experienced staff who can work in all Key Stages. We can work
alongside the teacher in the classroom or organise short sessions
where the staff have one-to-one training on their own computers
Activity Days
Newspaper Days - BITS have organised many newspaper
days within schools. The day starts with the students becoming
reporters, writers, editors, interviewers etc. for the day
and ends with the paper going to press. The students produce
a newspaper of the school activities, sporting achievements,
interview famous parents and people in school and then at the
end of the day collect all the material together to create
a Newspaper. Later it is sold to the parents and students.
It is great fun and a great day is had by all
Data handling Days - these usually revolve around
CD-ROMs gathering information. Learning to make databases and
interrogate them. Information is collected from a wide range
of sources including the WWW.
