Becta Self Review Framework and ICT Mark
Becta’s self-review framework is designed to help you evaluate your current use
of ICT and plan future improvements to the way technology is used in learning and
teaching. It can help ensure that your school’s investment in ICT is fit for
purpose and you make best use of the resources available.
Freely accessed through an online tool, the framework is made up of eight elements
and linked to the national standards for ICT. It offers your school a straightforward
process for identifying strengths and areas for development in current ICT use.
After allowing you to benchmark your school’s capabilities against established best
practice, the tool develops an action plan to help move forward.
For more information about the Becta Self Review Framework visit the Becta website.
You can begin using the Becta matrix online tool by visiting and registering at
the Self Review Framework home page.
Reward your success
Once your school has reached a certain level on the framework, you have the option
to apply for the ICT Mark, a national quality accreditation
which celebrates achievement in the use of ICT in working towards whole-school improvement.
You may also want to enter for Becta’s ICT Excellence Awards, which
are closely aligned to the self-review framework and offer further recognition.
ICT Mark success
Congratulations to Plaistow Primary School who have become the first Newham school
to achieve the ICT Mark. Peter Willett (ICT Manager) and Neil Carpenter (Head Teacher)
