Learning Gateway
Working with you Towards Success
For pupils to engage fully with their education in the 21st century, they need greater access to the technology that is now shaping their daily lives.
- Pupils want to succeed and be motivated by their learning experience. They want to use technologies that will prepare them for life, whether they’re working at school, from home or elsewhere.
- Teachers want to manage their workload and simplify access to the different critical systems across their schools or colleges.
- Parents, carers and mentors want to be kept informed of students’ progress, attendance and upcoming events, and being able to do so helps develop a stronger school or college community.

School Empowers Teachers and Students with Self-Directed Technology Classes
President Kennedy School gained specialist status in 2005. At the same time, it invested in computer hardware and software, but soon realised that its teachers did not have the IT skills and confidence to use these new resources to their full potential. To help its people learn how to use technology to support their work, the school joined the Microsoft IT Academy. As a result, staff have been empowered and students have improved learning opportunities.

Specialist School Transforms Communication and Collaboration with New Framework
Hunters Hill Technology College is a specialist school for children with behavioural problems. Located in the West Midlands, England, it supports a network of client schools and works with a number of government agencies responsible for child care. The recent ‘Every Child Matters‘ government framework requires schools and partner agencies to work closely and support more pupils within the mainstream school system. The school implemented a Microsoft Learning Gateway framework, transforming communication and collaboration among key stakeholders. It can now transfer key information safely and securely to learners, parents, client schools, governors, and other key agencies — satisfying the changes in legal requirements.

Young People Unable to Attend School Get Better Grades Using New E-Learning Portal
The academic achievement of young people outside school is often significantly lower than that of peers who attend school or college. This is due to lack of resources, and reduced access to subject specialist teachers and group learning opportunities. The Nisai Virtual Academy (NVA) has been developed to enhance children’s opportunities for learning and gaining qualifications.
