A massive thank you to the digital leaders and staff in helping our school to attain the Digital Wellbeing Award. After achieving our Digital Schools Award last year, we realised that the second award was within reach and thought why not go for it! My digital leaders worked very hard to ensure that everyone at Clovenstone Primary was up-to-date and understood CRIS. Delivering workshops to parents and carers, presenting whole school assemblies and supporting teachers in class, they exceeded expectations and did so with maturity, resilience and passion. As DLC, I gathered support from parents/carers during Parents Evening, as well as evidence of learning and teaching from teachers which included photos of pupils hard at work. From this, I was able to create presentations for each of the sections required and submitted it to DSAS. After a successful validation meeting last week, we were told we had been successful in our bid for the award and were the first Primary school in Edinburgh to do so! Next step, for our school is to gain the Equitable Creative Coding Award!”
