Digital Leaders
Digital Leaders Overview
At Throckley Primary School, we consider all our children to be digital leaders. Through our progressive computing curriculum and strong commitment to promoting online safety, all our children are equipped with the substantive and disciplinary knowledge to become good digitally-literate citizens when they leave.
Children who have an interest or shown a passion for computing have had the opportunity to put themselves forward to become the designated 'Digital Leader' for their class and work closely with the Computing Curriculum Leader to develop and deepen their knowledge. This includes exploring a range of hard/software, creating user support videos and even promoting the growth of our school Twitter feed. Our digital leaders encourage, respect and take responsibility towards our technological equipment in school as well as inspire others to be curious and enthusiastic about computing. They apply their knowledge and skills to support both class teachers and pupils to be successful in not only discrete computing lessons but also when using technology across the curriculum. Working in partnership with our fellow ONE Trust schools, digital leaders have ample opportunity to collaborate through a variety of workshops and network with other children within our local community.
