NEW THIS YEAR!Developing your School Digital leaders
/ As computing confidence grows in schools, how can you offer challenges to your more-able pupils?
Why not develop up to 3 of your Year 5 or Year 6 children to become Digital Leaders for your school?
The aim of these workshops are to develop and embed further in depth skills and knowledge using such programs as scratch2, blogging and animation, which they in turn will be able to share their knowledge alongside the class teacher.
Children will need to be accompanied by a Teacher who will take responsibility for the Digital Leaders in school to ensure that they are deployed effectively and have a clear understanding of what their roles and responsibilities are within school.
Your new Digital Leaders will be presented with a certificate after they have completed the course.
If you wish to attend any of these workshops, your 3 children will need to be accompanied by a teacher; they may also wish to drive the children to the course (insurance allowing) to reduce the cost of transporting the children.

½ Day Support
(schools to send 1 staff + 3 pupils) / This course trains your school digital leaders to become “E-Safety Champions”, effective peer support for your children in school. These children will be shown how to identify possible e-safety issues arising around school.
They will be encouraged to understand that they are a very important set of “eyes and ears” as sometimes their friends will not share things with their teachers but discuss things that are worrying them with their friends.
Your new “E-Safety Champion”; will take part in various dramatic scenarios which will help them to know how to support their peers.
Your E-Safety Champion will work closely with your Safeguarding lead (or any other designated members of staff) to identify possible issues and support vulnerable children within your school.
Ideally, your safeguarding lead (or identified member of staff) will accompany the children on this workshop.
