Naace has a key role in the development and delivery of the ICT Mark. The ICT Mark is an accreditation for schools who have reached nationally agreed levels within the self-review framework. Have a look at the latest ICT Mark Newsletter.

You must complete the Self-review Framework before applying for ICT Mark assessment. You can find out more about the Self-review Framework on this website. The ICT Mark award is valid for three years from the date that the Award is confirmed.

When you are ready to apply for ICT Mark assessment you can complete our online application form.

You will need to:

• double-check that you have met or exceeded the ICT Mark threshold in all aspects, and have completed a supporting commentary for each aspect;
• complete the online booking form at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ICTMarkBook.

The ICT Mark office will collect your evidence as a csv file from the Self-review Framework, check it, then arrange for an ICT Mark assessor to contact you to fix a mutually convenient date for the assessment.  Additional information is available about what the assessment visit will be like at www.naace.co.uk/ictmark/assessmentvisit.

We usually allow four weeks from receipt of your booking form for an assessment visit can be arranged - this is to give us time to process the application, check your evidence, contact a suitable assessor and then for the assessor to fix a mutually convenient date with you.  However, we always try to accommodate, so please do contact us and we will do our very best to process applications as soon as possible.

Before you apply you can check the cost of the ICT Mark assessment for your school using the following link www.naace.co.uk/ictmark/costs.  You can also check if your Local Authority has an agreement with Naace regarding ICT Mark assessment services - check the list at www.naace.co.uk/ictmark/intermediarymodel to see if your LA is listed.

Please be aware that by applying for the ICT Mark you are authorising Naace to access the details on your Self-review Framework as part of the assessment process.

Help? The ICT Mark office is staffed to provide a support service for you as you engage with the assessment process. Please email us at ictmark@naace.co.uk or telephone 0870 240 0480 and we will do our best to deal with your query promptly.
