The Northern Grid awards are an excellent opportunity to demonstrate how your school makes exciting and innovative use of ICT.
An amazing 131 schools from the 12 Local Authorities in the Northern Grid region entered our 2008 annual awards.
Thirty-three schools were winners or highly commended and all schools were recognised as centres of excellence. Each school received their certificates and prizes at the Northern Grid ICT Awards Ceremony during the Northern Grid for Learning Conference 2008 at the prestigious Ramside Hall in Durham.
Schools in all key stages, including special schools, are encouraged to submit entries to this important competition. The awards will provide a regional showcase for your school, teachers and pupils and an opportunity to win a valuable ICT prize donated by national hardware and software developers.
The closing date for the awards is 28th February 2009
Although the closing date may seem a long way in the distant future you should really be planning your entry now to ensure you allow yourselves plenty of time. Experience shows us that many schools submit projects that have been integrated into wider schemes of work and may take up to a term to complete – while other submissions may be evidence of special activities based around perhaps as little as a week’s activity.
The date and venue of the presentation ceremony will be confirmed at a later date.
Examples of last year’s entries and an entry form can be found on the menu to the side. |
