Digital parents and carers

As we progress through the term, the important role that digital technology plays in learning is becoming ever more evident.

Pupils and staff are developing an increasing range of digital skills with an iPad often being as important as a pen or pencil in an increasing number of lessons.

The next stage for us is to ensure that parents and carers feel able to play a role in digital learning.

The graphic above highlights how digital learning that takes place in school can also involve parents and carers. As can be seen, pupils and teachers are using a range of apps to help with their learning and now, as these resources are digital, it should be easy for us to involve parents. This is our next challenge.
