The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) promotes quality and coherence in education and training, in the interests of individuals, the economy and society. They provide publications and information on the National Curriculum for schools, and they regulate assessment of pupils and public qualifications. They also provide support information such as latest research and statistical information for teachers and school leadership.

QCA contracted Keymedia to design and build a website that uses pupils' work to exemplify the National Curriculum. Following the definition of requirements with QCA, Keymedia will design and build a database driven website that will provide an invaluable resource for teachers and school leadership alike. It will show examples of pupils' work at various key stages and levels and across all subjects.

We will also develop a system which will allow users to build up a portfolio of pupils' work which can be printed and used off line as a resource for teachers. The site is due to go live in April 2001.
