A summary of 2021 – 2022

The Digital Leaders held many cross-site meetings, joining their Digital Leader peers from our partnership schools, Orchard and Hoxton Garden. During these meetings, they gathered information and engaged in lively conversations about their perceptions of computing, explored ways to enhance the ICT curriculum throughout the school, and collaboratively brainstormed strategies to promote the upcoming Safer Internet Day. They also proudly acted as IT role models, demonstrating their newly learnt skills from the previous terms’ ICT lessons, showcasing their diverse talents across various iPad apps.
