Digital devices at FJS
At Fleetville, we are fortunate to have class sets of Chromebooks and access to digital tools that can enhance teaching and learning. We use Google for Education, including Google Classroom, Docs, Slides and Sheets, alongside a small number of carefully selected platforms that support particular areas of learning.
Technology is also an important part of our computing curriculum. Children progressively develop their knowledge and skills in areas including programming, data handling, digital media, online safety and the effective use of different software. We have worked with local secondary schools to help us consider the digital skills that will be most useful to our pupils as they move onto the next stage of their education.
Our approach is to use technology purposefully and where it adds value to learning. We are mindful of the wider discussion around children's use of screens and aim to achieve an appropriate balance between digital learning and the books, handwriting, practical experiences, discussion, collaboration and outdoor learning that remain an important part of life at Fleetville.
