School Links Parentmail https://www.parentmail.co.uk/ ParentMail was formed in 2001 and was the very first 'dedicated' school-home communications service to be launched in the UK. The Directors of the company had all at one time or another, experienced problems with school information; principally the lack of it as paper information has a habit of 'going missing'! That experience prompted a discussion and then the formation of a brand new concept. Since then and over the last six years 1200 UK schools have joined us and over 300,000 parents are registered. Almost 1500 UK schools use ParentMail to communicate with Parents, Staff & Governors by Email & Text message. Specialist Schools Trust http://www.specialistschools.org.uk/ The Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) is a leading body for secondary education. The SSAT seeks to give more young people access to a good secondary education by building networks, sharing practice and supporting schools. The SSAT's way of working is based on the principle 'by schools for schools.' The SSAT is at the heart of a growing network of schools including primary, secondary, special schools and academies. We believe it represents the largest network of its kind in the world. GCSE Revision Sites Subject Specific Revision Sources Art and Design

It has the potential to transform the way we teach and learn across the board. It can raise standards, and widen participation in lifelong learning. It cannot replace teachers and lecturers, but alongside existing methods it can enhance the quality and reach of their teaching, and reduce the time spent on administration. It can enable every learner to achieve his or her potential, and help to build an educational workforce empowered to change. It makes possible a truly ambitious education system for a future learning society.
