ICT and Improving Writing – QED

Today we had the pleasure of  presenting to over 100 teachers, heads and ICT Coordinators from clusters of schools in Rhondda Cynon Taf at The QED Centre, Treforest. A special thank you to a very special man, Selwyn Jones, School Improvement Officer for Rhondda Cynon Taf.
