1:1 Devices
Introduction to the Project
Embracing Digital Inclusivity: We recognise the importance of digital skills in the modern world. With the digital sector forming a significant part of the UK economy, we understand the necessity of preparing our pupils for a future where digital proficiency is paramount. Bligh Primary School and Maritime Academy Trust have been working in collaboration with Leo Academy Trust. Our 1:1 Device Project, started in October 2021, and is a testament to our commitment to bridging the digital divide and fostering an environment where technology enhances learning and personal development.
Aims
Empowering Our Pupils: The core objectives are to:
- Ensure that every Maritime child benefits from free access to their own Chromebook starting in Year 3 and this device stays with them until they leave us in Year 6
- Enhance learning opportunities through peer interaction
- Provide more problem-solving tasks
- Develop skills in connectivity, collaboration, and innovative learning methods
- Foster creativity and critical thinking
- Encourage self-learning and independent exploration
Community Collaboration
Building a Learning Community: A key aim is to use technology as a bridge between pupils, parents, and carers, creating a supportive community that extends learning beyond the classroom. This aligns with Maritime Academy Trust’s strategic goal of continuous learning, regardless of the school day.
Continuous Professional Development
Sustaining the Change: Our CPD Curriculum Strategy ensures that 1:1 devices sustainably embedded into our educational system. Ongoing training, feedback from staff, pupils, and parents, and continuous improvement will be the keystones of this project.
