Two Mile Ash is an Academy school in Milton Keynes with a thirst for continuous improvement. After meeting the Senior Leadership Team at a reseller sales event the relationship with TMA and Trilby grew. Now some 18 months on the school has seen massive improvements in the use of ICT across the curriculum in all parts of the school.

When they came to us TMA had a selection of laptops which were being used for world processing and some page layout. Now with a whole range of new ICT equipment and the skills to use it they are making music, animating, creating video and using more media than ever.

Key to the success at TMA was an effective professional development process. We designed a training programme which took a small selection of teachers on a journey which in turn was cascaded through to other staff. This led to a 'want' to learn from the teachers as they saw their colleagues using these new tools and wanted to get in on the action.

Our work at Two Mile Ash is on-going. We frequently review how ICT is being used and work with key staff to influence curriculum planning. As an Initial Teacher Training School, TMA often invite us back to talk to trainees who are just starting their teaching career giving them guidance and support on how they too can be more technologically creative in their working practices.

TMA and Trilby will continue to work together to ensure the school remains an outstanding place to learn.
