Four Staffordshire schools install online learning platform |

Frog enables learning and teaching beyond the classroom.
Two of the schools, Thomas Alleyne’s High School, Uttoxeter, and De Ferrers Specialist Technology College, Burton upon Trent, installed the Frog programme at the start of the term and have found it significantly enhances flexible learning.
The JCB Academy, Rocester, due to open in September 2010, and Oldfields Hall Middle School, Uttoxeter, have also installed the technology.
The computer programme allows students and teachers to access school information including homework, diaries, email, resource booking and timetables from one online location.
It comes as the Government sets schools the target of offering parents real-time access to their child’s learning on a timely and frequent basis – at least once per term by 2010. Thomas Alleyne High School is set to meet this target a year in advance.
Ian Cartwright, Project Manager at Thomas Alleyne’s High School, said: “Frog is changing the way we work and is helping to foster a culture of leadership in the school. The forums have really helped our students to network with each other; they are transforming students into keen learners both inside and beyond the school classroom. Teachers love being able to work from home and to set work for absent students more easily than before.” Further reading:
