The de Ferrers Academy – Frog Blog

We have added a number of additional Frog features to the de Ferrers VLE, including:


D+T Peer mentoring:

Students can now select a DT option and ask for help, guidance and advice from some volunteer mentors. Most of the GCSE and A level options are now represented.

We’re already seeing some excellent responses to this – well done!

We hope to start using this approach soon in other curriculum areas.


Education News:

Staff and governors at de Ferrers now have their own one-stop shop for education news and webslinks, agggregating all of the news feeds into one convenient webpage.

We will soon be making a one-stop revision and study page for students.




Young Designers:

DT are celebrating the work of KS3 designers by dispalying some of the best work and inviting their peers to cast their votes.

We have recently set up an International Climate Challenge area on the VLE. This is your chance to have your say about the future of the world – tell the government what you want to see in your area to reduce climate change.

You can find the International Climate Challenge form in your “Subjects” area of the main menu. Look for the orange hand and this will take you to the resources area and drop box. Simply download and complete the form and upload it.
