Technical Support for Essex Schools  
     
Essex LA ICT team working with Becta Primary FITS
Getting started
This site is based on the Becta Framework for ICT Technical support in Primary Schools (Primary FITS).

The aim is to provide Primary schools, Special schools and Nurseries with the tools needed to ensure a strategic technical support system for their curriculum network.  

Schools can access all Becta FITS framework documents through this site which will provide the overall ICT technical support structure.

The benefits of using this framework include:  
 
  • It provides a system for managing ICT hardware resources
 
  • It instils a prevention rather than cure culture in ICT management and support
 
  • It provides access to a list of technical support providers that have been trained in using the BECTA FITS framework within Essex.  Those schools without a technician can search the database to find local companies.
 
  • It specifies a clear structure so that staff can easily log any ICT hardware/software problems within the school with a system in place for key members of staff to action those issues and  if necessary pass them to the Second level support  (usually a technician from the schools support company) .  See guide
