Introduction

We are delighted to have been appointed to the DfE Ed-Tech Demonstrator Programme.The Ed-Tech Demonstrator Programme includes a network of schools and colleges across England who exhibit effective practice in the use of technology.

The programme was announced last year to boost peer-to-peer support on the effective use of technology and has now been tailored to help schools and colleges provide education remotely. The reach of this programme will be expanded over the coming weeks.

The Demonstrator Schools and Colleges will provide professional development, initially focused on supporting the effective delivery of remote teaching practices to schools and colleges across the country.  The programme will target schools and colleges  who are most in need of support; for example, those getting to grips with using a new online learning platform and those with the most disadvantaged learners.
Through this programme Beauchamp College and the Lionheart Academies Trust will assist the DfE in supporting schools in the local area to engage with their students through digital tools and online content.
