secondary schools (both
also adopting iPad)
Context
•
Rapidly improving
GCSE & A level results
•

and tracking
•
‘Aspire & Achieve’,
PRIDE statement
•
HMI visit commented
on “impressive use of
iPad for feedback”
1:1 iPad Summary
•

every student and teacher
(and many support staff)
1:1 iPad Summary
•
Now - Around 1000+ student iPad (all of Y10-Y13) and over 170
iPad. We also have 3 crates of 16 iPad for KS3 use and RTC events.
•
Working closely with some other RTCs on training, SEN support, etc
•
Weekly visits/conference calls/consultancies with 1:1 schools
1:1 Vision
•
To improve student learning outcomes
•
Equip all our students and staff with 21st century digital learning tools
•
Ensure 1:1 programme is both 100% inclusive and sustainable

2 international research projects
Research
•
FASMED - Working with University of Nottingham to
produce and evaluate digital resources & lesson
plans for Maths education (EU project)
•
ERASMUS+ - Working with Dr Kevin Burden at
University of Hull and schools in Norway, Germany,
Australia to research impact of mobile devices and
digital learning resources (especially in Maths,
Science, History)
•
Greg Hughes & Tom Riley liaising with Dr Holly
Ludgate (Florida FSU) & Dr Cynthia Chiong (Apple)
on our own iPad-related impact research
Initial Teacher Training
•
University of Derby - Series of iPad and content
creation workshops with 2nd & 3rd year Primary Bed
students.
•
University of Nottingham - Developing a bespoke
School Direct programme of assignments for our own
ITT students, focused on use & evaluation of iPad
and learning technologies.
•
University of Nottingham - Delivering a series of
hands-on workshops about iPad and 1:1 schemes
for PGCE students in Maths,Science, MFL and
English.
Impact of 1:1 iPad…
•
Massive impact on EAL students whose native Language may be Urdu, Polish,
Swedish…improved confidence, high quality of work, positive outlook to school,
greater independence, raised aspirations
•
Exceeding target grades & faster progress for some Y10/Y12 students in lessons
that leverage potential of 1:1 and provide a lot of ‘flipped lesson’ resources to
encourage independent learners (eg, GCSE grade B Physics students achieving
grade A at A level)
•
Improved communication for all students - faster turnaround for homework and
feedback, more questions & discussions with individuals
•
Better class performance for some Y10/Y12 Science & Maths students, compared
to similar ability groups the year before (eg, 68% of set 3 Science achieving grace C+
on first mock Physics exam, compared to 38% previously, less E grades)
•
Increased engagement and challenge for many groups, such as set 4 English
using 1:1 iPad potential & digital scaffolding tools to aim for B grades on
Shakespeare controlled assessments

1:1 iPad use at A level
Evidence of impact after 2 year pilot
Evaluating use
A level results 2014
The de Ferrers Academy - 1:1 iPad impact
There are numerous other impacts observed including:
• Reduction in spending on traditional PC infrastructure (around £50,000
less spent on laptops/classroom PCs in 2014)
• Reduction in spending on some online services, such as VLEs, online
gaming software (around £8000 in 2014)
• Reduction in spending on printing and student planners (harder to
calculate exactly, but probably £10,000 - £15,000 in 2014)
• Increase levels of student independence, confidence and organization
(especially SEN and EAL students form comments made)
