Achieving the Digital Schools Award is something we are all really proud of here at Bonaly Primary. We have looked to embed digital learning across the curriculum over the last few years, with staff and pupils focussed on this goal. Through carefully planned lessons, the teaching of digital skills and investment in new digital resources, we have been able to enthuse our learners and ensure that they have the digital skills they require to take their learning forward. It was only once we started to gather the required evidence for the award that we realised just how much we had done and achieved as a school. It was great to receive the award, as we feel it reflects our commitment to take digital learning forward here at Bonaly.

The assessment process for the award was an enjoyable experience for all involved, with our Digi Ninjas (pupil led digital group) being able to share their achievements and thoughts on digital learning at Bonaly. Our assessor (Malcolm) was very supportive throughout, and made the experience a really positive one.
