Woodlea Junior School
Digital Leaders
Our plan this year- 2026-2027
Aim: To develop children’s confidence in using technology, promote online safety and support the effective use of digital resources across the school.
Digital Leaders will promote online safety across the school by sharing key messages, supporting activities such as Safer Internet Day, and creating posters and presentations. They will help children use digital tools safely and confidently, encourage responsible online behaviour, and support teachers with technology where appropriate. Digital Leaders will also gather pupil feedback and meet regularly with Mrs Hellon to review progress, celebrate achievements and plan future activities.
How we will know if we've accomplished our aim:
By the end of the academic year:
Children have a stronger understanding of online safety.
Children know how to report online concerns to a trusted adult.
Digital Leaders demonstrate responsible and respectful use of technology.
Digital Leaders actively support school events and online safety initiatives.
Children feel more confident using digital tools to support their learning.
This year at Woodlea, we have launched a new team of digitally skilled pupils to help support the development of Computing across our school.
We are aware of the importance that technology will hold in our children's future and how this will only continue to grow. Therefore, as a school, we are committed to ensuring our Woodlea pupils will leave Year 6 with a vast range of digital skills, enabling them to enter their next stage of education as confident content creators, opposed to just being digital consumers.
What do our digital leaders do?
o Support the use of iPads and computers in school for learning.
o Share their skills and expertise with other pupils, classes and even teachers.
o Set up equipment in classrooms for teachers.
o Help teachers update and monitor areas of the school website, Twitter or class blog.
o Feed into whole school decisions about the future development of technology.
o Help lead lunchtime or after school computing / iPad clubs.
o Support teachers in using technology in the classroom.
What the Digital Leaders have done so far this year…
Following on from Internet Legends Day, the Digital Leaders have designed questionnaires using Kahoot to find out what the children at Woodlea think about safety online.
