ICT Mark

The Self-review Framework is an online tool that schools in the United Kingdom can use to assess and benchmark their use of technology (ICT). It enables schools to identify where they are and shows the practical steps they can take to improve their use of technology. The Self-review Framework provides a structure for reviewing a school's use of technology and its impact on school improvement. It is designed to support ALL schools. It complements the work schools currently undertake for Ofsted and can be provided as evidence for a school’s Self Evaluation Framework (SEF).

It was originally developed by Becta and has now been transferred fully to Naace, who continue to provide support for the Self-review Framework and the related ICT Mark.

The Self-review Framework was the result of collaboration between Becta, Ofsted, the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency, the Training and Development Agency (TDA), the National College for School Leadership (NCSL), the National Strategies, the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) and Naace, with advice and guidance from a wider range of partners and stakeholders.

Following Becta's closure in April 2011, the Self-review Framework was one of the functions transferred into the Department for Education. It continues to be run by Naace, the National Association for all those who wish to advance education through the use of technology.

The six parts of the self-review framework give a summary of the school’s current ICT capabilities and suggest actions to improve ICT use:
