Becta Schools Site
This is the new main portal for Becta's support for the use of ICT
in education. All of Becta's previous sites, such as ICT Advice,
NGfL and New2computers have been replaced by this one-stop-shop
(Although the Teacher Resource Exchange still has an independent
existence - see below).
British Council
Whether you want to learn English, find out about the latest ideas from the UK, or
discover what the British Council is doing in your own country, this is the place to
start.
British Library
Search online for over 18.5 million bibliographic records and discover all about this
great national institution.
Curriculum OnLine
This is where you find out what you can buy with your E Learning
Credits and how to spend them.
DfEE - Department for Education and Skills
The DfEE's main site gives access to all the latest Government information and bumph.
The A-Z of
school management
Lots of information for school managers from Schoolnet (part of the
DfES)
Learning Curve - National Archives
The National Archives Learning Curve is an on-line teaching resource, structured to tie in
with the History National Curriculum from Key Stages 2 to 5. Designed for teachers, the
Learning Curve contains a varied range of original sources including documents,
photographs, film and sound recordings.
The National Curriculum Online
The blurb on the site says, "This site links every National Curriculum programme of
study requirement to high-quality, relevant teaching resources. Hundreds of great websites
are included, and rated on their usefulness by teachers themselves. Programme of study
requirements are also linked to relevant units in the QCA/DfEE schemes of work".
NACELL
The website of The National Advisory Centre on Early Language Learning, which is
an ofshoot of CILT. This is a must-visit site if you are involved in teaching modern
foreign languages at KS1 or KS2. There is advice, downloadable resources, information
sheets, publishers' details, examples of good practice, a page dedicated to networking
(for both teachers and pupils) and information about professional development.
Ofsted
Someone's been listening. Much improved site. Contains information about Ofsted and its
work. Much easier access to individual school reports using a sophisticated search tool
using School name / Address / Post Code etc. All presented in easily read format.
QCA - Qualifications and Curriculum
Authority
I thought I was going into the land of grey suits but came out thinking they were dudes!
It's actually a real cool site and packed with useful information on assesment from Early
Years to Old Age! WELL worth the visit. And it's even got some resources for parents or
KS2 children based around Romans and Electricity (not combined I might add!) including a
promise for more subjects later. I'll be going back again and for those of you who like
smooth sites this one is well lush.
Schemes of Work
The QCA schemes of Work are available from the Standards Site. (You can download each unit
individually)
Standards Site
This is one to bookmark. It is the DfEE's own site relating to standards in our
schools. The site is full of useful stuff to help schools and teachers get to grips with
the demands of education in the new millenium. As well as the schemes of work this site
now includes sections on Literacy | Numeracy | Pupil Performance | Gender and
Achievement | Study Support | Parental
Involvement | Thinking
Skills | Excellence
in Cities | LEA | Beacon Schools |
Other resources
The Teachers' Resource Exchange
Run by BECTA, this site is a place where teachers can share their
good ideas / lesson plans / resources etc. You can submit resources
and ideas of your own and / or comment on / add to the ideas and
resources which have been submitted by others.
Teacher Training Agency
This site has recently undergone major changes and is faster and easier to use. If you
need to know what is going on in teacher training, both now and in the future, this site
is worth a visit..

here! The old Cleo site is still there
