Digital Leaders & E-Safety @ Parochial
2023-2024
What are 'Digital Leaders'?
The team is made up of passionate and dedicated children from across KS2. Their aim is to take a leading role in the delivery and development of E-Safety and the computing curriculum throughout the school.
Our Digital Leaders also support our staff, pupils and families in all things computing. So far this year they have supported with the delivery of an E-Safety Parent Workshop, developed a brand new E-Safety display with practical hints and tips for students as well as supporting our classroom teachers and support staff in the technical side of our Purple Mash Computing Curriculum.
Our Digital Leader Team 2022-23:
Year 3: Evangeline & Isabelle
Year 4: Mo Singh & Sophia
