New Online Platform in Full Force!
As a school we are constantly looking for ways to work more smartly and efficiently and ensure that we are communicating as effectively as possible with all stakeholders. Since September 2019 a group of staff and our Year 7 cohort of students and their parents and carers have been piloting Edulink – a superb new online platform which replaces our Learning Gateway and offers a much more user-friendly interface for all stakeholders.
On Monday of this week our IT Technician Mr Booth, along with Advanced Lead Teacher and Head of House Mr Symeou, provided some really positive feedback about the very successful pilot. We are now going live with all stakeholders from February 10th 2020 and hope that we can all now benefit from this major new infrastructure development across our learning community.
I would like to thank Mr Booth and our hardworking and dedicated IT Team who work tirelessly across the Bushey St James Trust to ensure our complex organisation works efficiently and smartly in all areas. As always there will be the opportunity to provide feedback about this latest cutting edge development and all feedback will help us improve things further as needed.
