At Seaview Primary School and Nursery, technology has played a big role in improving academic achievement - and the school has made year-on-year progress since 2015. Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard, which is used daily to integrate technology into lessons in fun and meaningful ways. The use of iPads throughout the school has allowed Year 3 and 4 pupils to take part in Mathletics competitions against other children across the world. Since adopting the technology, the school has experienced an improvement in attendance and a decline in poor behaviour.

Technology is used at Seaview to enrich the curriculum. Using applications such as iMovie and VisioPrompt, Year 6 pupils put together news reports on natural disasters they had researched as part of their “fragile Earth” topic, undertaking roles as scriptwriters, videographers and news reporters.

E-safety is taken extremely seriously. Parents and guardians have been invited to school to take part in sessions with Seaview’s community police officer, and the school annually celebrates “E-Safety Week’”. This week of events provides opportunities to focus on the topic through a range of activities, with different classes working as buddies to undertake an e-safety-related task.

The judges said: “The scope of Seaview’s use of technology was impressive. From improving attendance, behaviour and key stage outcomes to developing staff through in-house CPD sessions, it was a comprehensive example of how technology can be used to positively impact many aspects of school life.”
