This week in assembly, our children have been learning about a special new role to appear in our school- Digital Leaders! We love to give our children opportunities to show their creativity, expertise and independence, and taking on special responsibilities in school is an important part of that.

We will have several Digital Leaders which will be chosen from each year group.

Digital Leaders will:

• Be technological experts within their own class, who will be able to help their classmates to solve any problems and give them advice.
• Be on hand to help their teachers to share new digital skills with the class.
• Help staff to create digital content e.g. posters to advertise events, video montages to share class achievements or events.
• Assist adults in taking care of the technology e.g. putting iPads away safely and securely.
• Need to attend one meeting a month (during a lunchtime) and may need to give some more time to special assignments. During these meetings, they will have extra training- initially focusing on the iPads- to give them extra skills and try out new apps etc.

Digital leaders do not already need to be experts, and do not even need to have an iPad/ tablet/ laptop at home! However, they do need to be enthusiastic, interested and committed to the role.


If your child is interested in the role, they will need to apply for the position using some kind of technology- the more creative, the better! This could be a video/ iMovie, a Keynote or Powerpoint presentation, or anything else you can think of. (Parents- please do feel free to show your children some skills, but please refrain from creating it for them!) They will need to let me know what skills they can bring to the role, and why they would like to do it. If you do not have the technology to do this at home, they can ask their teacher to use a device in school.

Applications can be sent to the school office via email (you could use https://wetransfer.com/ if the file is too large). The closing date for applications is Monday 28th February (the day after half term) and children who are successful will be notified afterwards as they will be taking part in some special training for the role in March.

If your child has any questions, please do encourage them to come and ask Miss Thomas for more information!
