The de Ferrers Academy – Frog Blog

Following on from the success of our Young Designer KS3 voting website, we have now opened it up to Young Designers at KS4.

Four pieces of work are on display from the Young Designers who have each been assigned an anonymous number to make the voting fair. Every student at de Ferrers is invited to decide who deserves to be the Young Designer, so get voting.

You can access the voting centre by going into the VLE and clicking the Young Designer button under the “Subjects” section.

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.
