Shireland Technology Primary
At the core of our curriculum is an innovative and authentic learning experience, rich in the use of new technologies, and which is personalised and responsive to the needs of our pupils.
Our curriculum provides a range of purposeful and real-world learning episodes or ‘explores’. By using technology to create exceptional learning experiences, we help bring the curriculum and learning to life with children having many opportunities to collaborate, problem solve and develop critical thinking skills. We also seek to build on children’s prior learning to accelerate progress for all and assessment for learning is key.
We also believe feedback from peers and the wider learning community is extremely powerful to motivate and engage pupils so using technology to reach a wider and even a global audience is important to us to share our proud achievements and connect with the wider learning community.
Although technology is a key driver of our school, for us it is more about how technology is used to engage, enhance, enable and extend learning rather than the technology itself. The experience of pupils is balanced and high quality off line activities and classroom experiences are highly valued.
