Digital Leaders

Our digital leaders at Downside are a group of 10 KS2 pupils from Year 5 and 6. Their role is to support the use of technology, particularly tablets and chrome books, across the school. They take part in a variety of jobs including:

• Support the use of a range of devices in school to support learning.
• Share their skills and expertise with other pupils and classes.
• Assist peers and younger pupils in understanding coding applications.
• Participate in ‘Computing Buddies’ – this is where the digital leaders run fun  clubs for younger children each half term.
• Have a good understanding of how to stay safe with technology and share that with others.
• Attend training sessions to enhance their knowledge with the Computing curriculum team teachers.
