Our Digital Leader Academy Programme enables children to:
- Describe and model the safe and responsible use of a range of technologies.
- Demonstrate appropriate knowledge and understanding of specific technologies relevant to each school context.
- Exhibit good communication skills and collaborate effectively with staff and students.
- Understand the concept of ‘Student Voice’ and become a conduit for this across the school with reference to the use of innovative digital and mobile technology.
