How a strategic approach to ICT aligned with curriculum innovation and leadership development helped one secondary school improve achievement. In the 5 years since 2004, Longfield School in Darlington has improved dramatically, with GCSE results raised from 35% to 78% 5A* to C. This has been inspired by a vision of the strategic use of ICT, which has gone hand in hand with curriculum innovation and leadership development. Keith Cotgrave and the senior leadership team narrate the school's journey and the pivotal role ICT has played in it, revealing insights into their overall strategy, the pace of change, and the challenges they faced. We see Senior Leadership Team (SLT) discussions to bring out the strategic use of ICT; staff IT training sessions; classroom learning using a range of ICT and the sophisticated learning portal, and find out how they overcame the issues integrating all the different systems.
