 Hello, I'm Mark McAddon. I'm head teacher at Burdom Church of England Primary School Which is a small village primary school just south of Chichester in West Sussex Okay, well I guess I would say that some of the key features of our school is the way We're able to manage different aspects of our ethos. We are an eco school. We're very proud to be an eco school We've got our fourth green flag. If it moves in the school, we will recycle it But we also Juxtapose that beside being a very technical school. So we're very into our IT We like our iPads. We like our websites. All our calendars are done electronically Our homeworks are sent home via the web. I'm very proud of the way we were able to balance the ethos of being an eco school Along the side being a very technical school at the cutting edge, hopefully of technology Although it's very hard to keep up sometimes Well, of course, one of the key educational challenges at the moment is what's been called assessment without levels So we had a system for about 20 years using national curriculum levels It wasn't perfect lots of people didn't like it But we all understood it and we were able to use it really well now That's all gone and we're having to create new systems potentially 17,000 new systems one for every school I have to say we are as a school really really pleased with the system. We've got It's called optimum O-track And essentially what we do is we now record and assess via iPads Almost instantaneously Assessments about how well a child is doing that gets analyzed and grouped and summarized automatically So it significantly minimizes the amount of time that staff have to spend collating evidence and the information that we're able to get from that is Very powerful, but we are still learning. It's also new And so it is both a real challenge But it's something that we can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel and it's not no longer the big scary thing Losing levels. It's actually we can make this work for us and we can do something even better So we're really quite chuffed at that West Sussex is a beautiful local authority We have a national park on our doorstep on one side just to the north And to the south we have some of the best beaches in the country geographically brilliant place to be In terms of education. Well, I would say my job is the best job in the world Sometimes it's also the worst job in the world and sometimes on the same day, but on the whole the benefits Definitely outweigh the disadvantages
