Home ICT & School
http://www.riefnacken.de/bcs/ Home ICT & School Parents and schools are equally interested in policies and practices to positively support the enhancement of learning. A recent source which shows levels across each EU member country is provided by the annual Eurobarometer surveys. Tables showing levels of home access are based on the statistics provided from this source. The BCS Working Party on "Home ICT & School" has collected together a range of materials that might be useful as information or guidance for those seeking to develop or support home-school links within their school community. This site will be developed further as more schools, LEAs, parent and community groups, advisory groups, and publishers present ideas and materials that might be of use to a wider audience. |

ICT and Home-School Links Project
http://www.becta.org.uk/research/reports/homeschoollinks/index.html The ICT and Home-School Links Project was commissioned by the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency (Becta) on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). Its aim was to gather information about existing use of electronic home-school links and to evaluate and exemplify good practice. The project was timely because of growing interest in the role that ICT might play in promoting improved communication and partnership between home and school. There was a need for research to inform policy and practice. Home-school links using ICT have been defined broadly to include: electronic communications between the school (including the head, teachers and administrative staff), pupils and parents; remote access to school records and information from the home uses of ICT, such as the school intranet, Internet resources and portable technologies, which enable pupils' learning to take place in an extended home-school environment. |

http://www.dfee.gov.uk/a-z/PARENTS.html A ‘parent’ is defined in education law as including all natural parents, including those who are not married; any person who has parental responsibility, but is not a natural parent and any person who has care of a child. Parental responsibility means assuming the rights, duties, powers, responsibilities and authority that, by law, a parent has in relation to the child. Every person with parental responsibility is entitled to share in the decisions that are made about a child’s education. |
