A West Lothian primary school has been awarded a prestigious award.
Croftmalloch Primary in Whitburn was awarded the Digital Schools Award, which is a national awards scheme to promote, recognise and encourage a whole school approach to the use of digital technology in schools.
This is an award, recognised by Education Scotland, which recognises excellence in the use of digital technology.
The application was made by a team of staff led by class teacher Kiera Martin.
Ms Martin said: “The assessor was highly impressed with the quality and depth of our evidence, particularly noting the volume and variety of examples we provided.
“They commended how we have embedded digital technology across the curriculum to support all learners, particularly praising our approaches to assist pupils with Additional Support Needs.
“They highlighted how confidently our children were able to articulate their learning during the validation visit. Their ability to speak with clarity and pride about their use of digital tools and how these enhance their learning experience was particularly praised.
“The assessor spoke highly of the use of our Pupil Voice Groups and was particularly impressed with the children’s ability to highlight, plan and evaluate the impact of the change they inspired.
“Following the success, we will now become a mentor school, supporting others in their journey towards achieving the Digital Schools Award.”
