As the date is fast approaching we thought now would be a good time to issue some further information on our interview with DfE! Our interview panel consists of a member of our Governing body, our proposed Principal Designate, and three of our company members. Our interview slot is 90 minutes, and in this time we have to present on our evidence of demand, capability, capacity, and demonstrate our motivation for Prince’s Community School. One key area we need YOUR help with is our ‘evidence of demand’. Our proposed Principal Designate Helen Prince is required to take part in a Future Leaders Charitable Trust (FLCT) assessment centre which will focus on her potential to lead a Free School. So where do we go from here? We will also be updating our website with all the revised information about the school, so please check back soon for more info on all areas of the school.

How Blogs Work"
Blogs appear on the news pretty often these days. For example, a reporter is tipped to a story by a blog, or a blog reports another angle on a story. Blogs show up in magazines a lot, too. But there is a good chance you have never seen a blog (also known as a weblog) or experienced the blogosphere. One of the things that is so amazing about blogs is their simplicity. Think about a "normal Web site." A typical Web site has a home page that links to sub-pages within the site. A blog is much simpler: A blog is normally a single page of entries. In this article, you will have a chance to enter the world of blogging.

How to Help Students Use Social Media Effectively
Today more than ever, people are capable of publishing their thoughts to a vast audience. Comments, tweets, and status updates are ubiquitous and constant. However, are we really focusing on the quality of the message we are putting out there? Are we really providing useful information or are we just adding to the noise? Simply giving students a blogger ID and a twitter username is not enough. Keep Standards High If we are going to enable our students to find and share their voice with the world, we need to equip them with a powerful skill that is timeless: writing effectively. Educators must model effective writing and editing as well. More Is Not Always Better The second frustrating element of social media is the perpetual sharing of watered-down guides e.g., "500 Tips for Google" or "100 Ways to Use YouTube in the Classroom." I am not trying to be preachy and humbly admit that I have been guilty of putting a message out there without proper edits. Before Posting, Examine Your Motives

10 reasons to get educators blogging
5 reasons educators should start reading blogs: 1) - Blogs are the heart of learning and sharing... If you are an idea and inspiration junkie like myself, then you will find blogs to be extremely beneficial. 2) - Blogs are real world and real time experiences... When educators write a new blog post I can say with almost 100% certainty that they are writing about something that has happened recently. 3) - Blogs will make you reflect on your educational practices... As you begin reading educator blogs you will instinctively start to reflect upon your educational practices and beliefs. 4) - Blogs give you the opportunity to connect and collaborate with educators from all around the world... One thing most educators don't have the time for during the course of a normal work day is sharing and collaboration. 5) - Blogs are free, accessible and extremely convenient... 5 reasons educators should have their own blogs: Your blog posts will be an open invitation for educators to leave comments.
