Primary ICT Subject Leaders - Contact Details Form

One of the most difficult aspects of running the Primary ICT Subject Leaders Network Hub meetings is keeping up to date with who is currently in the role. This becomes especially difficult when not every subject leader has access to Groupwise. Please use this form to update your own contact details. I would also appreciate it if you could pass this information onto anyone who takes over the role from you.

Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the Bristol Primary ICT Subject Leaders Blog!

My name is Chris Unsworth and I have recently taken over the responsibility for organising the Bristol ICT Subject Leaders Network Meetings. This blog aims to provide Bristol primary ICT subject leaders and teachers with information about the network meetings. It also aspires to act as a platform for educators to share ideas and best practice.

Please click on the subscribe button in the top right corner to receive notification of subject leader meeting updates.

I passionately believe in the benefits of using ICT as a tool to inspire children and improve teaching and learning standards.Communication is key to improving standards in Bristol so please join in the discussion!
