Amanda Anders

Amanda Anders is headteacher at Liverpool’s Roscoe Primary School, an average-sized primary school with a Nursery. The school is in one of the most deprived wards in the country.
During Amanda’s time as head, the school has undergone major changes, including federation and amalgamation. Roscoe was placed in special measures by Ofsted in July 2009, and was removed in March 2011, judged good in all aspects at its most recent inspection in June 2013.

Roscoe’s work on improving outcomes through the use of ICT has been acknowledged through a number of awards and nominations including: the Merseyside Educate Awards, shortlisted for a TES ICT Award, Makewaves Primary Site of the Year and being shortlisted for a NAACE Impact Award.

Earlier this year, Roscoe Primary School headteacher Amanda Anders spoke at one of our events, telling attendees how she brought her school out of special measures. Here, she goes into detail about the specific technology that allowed her and her colleagues to bring the school from ‘special measures’ to ‘good’ in four years.

In 2009 Roscoe Primary School, Liverpool was placed in Special Measures. ICT was considered to be inadequate, and in November 2010 an Ofsted monitoring report stated: “Pupils’ attainment and achievement in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is inconsistent and does not equip them well enough for the next stage of their education and life beyond school. The school realises that there is now an urgent need to take decisive action to address underachievement in ICT.”
