TECH IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL
Within the Primary School, our goal is to help students navigate the digital world safely and securely. We focus strongly on digital citizenship, and draw on the Common Sense Media curriculum to support students, staff and families.
We have a one-to-one iPad programme, and are working towards gaining Apple Distinguished School Accreditation. We work closely with the team from Apple to develop the dynamic use of technology in the classroom, and all Primary School staff are in the process of becoming accredited Apple Teachers.
To help our students develop strong collaborative and interpersonal skills, we also use Google Workspace. And, to strengthen the bond between home and school, we use Seesaw for progressive reporting.
There are many other ways we bring technology into the classroom – from 3D printers and virtual reality headsets, to coding tools and the very latest in educational robotics. Our students can also participate in a range of tech-related extra-curricular activities – like First Lego League, Code Club, Tinkertime and Minecraft.
