“Incorporating Anomaly Technology across all areas of the National Curriculum has proved both exciting and challenging for Ranelagh pupils. Two external, portrait screens have been installed in the playground and they have been used to motivate pupils into taking part in activities before the school day begins and also serve as an important means of communication with parents. The most recent technology incorporated into the school timetable is ClassACT, soon to be renamed Anomaly Film, which enables green screen filming and editing. Anomaly have provided in-depth training and the ‘studio in a box’ is compact, portable and user friendly.” “The Anomaly equipment has many and varied uses at Ranelagh Primary School and this term it has been used in conjunction with the Newham Mayor’s Every Child a Musician (ECaM) programme. Anomaly Schools Development Manager, Adam Peet, said, “Anomaly are constantly seeking new ways to support schools which will enhance pupil development. When we heard about ECaM, we thought it was a fantastic initiative with the pupils’ best interests at heart. We used our Anomaly Film studio to help Ranelagh showcase their budding musicians, whilst building pupils’ confidence. The feedback from the pupils proves that active learning is a successful way to engage pupils in the classroom. We look forward to seeing more schools in Newham bringing learning to life in the same way as Ranelagh Primary School.” Head of School, Shella Lawrenson, who was instrumental in bringing the innovative Anomaly technology to Ranelagh Primary School added, ” We have set up a successful partnership with Anomaly and the introduction of all-weather, external screens in the playground and the implementation of Anomaly Film across the curriculum has inspired and motivated the whole school and has sparked the children’s creativity. We have used the equipment for music classes and history projects and the applications are endless.” Ranelagh is looking forward to working with Anomaly throughout the school year and incorporating further innovative technology into the school curriculum.
