21 Sep
Princethorpe College is proud to share that our school has once again been recognised as a Microsoft Elevate Showcase School.
The College remains part of an elite group of schools, from across the world, recognised for their digital expertise and innovative and effective approach to technology innovation in teaching and learning.
The recognition follows an extensive evaluation of how technology is used in teaching and in the classroom and in how Princethorpe fosters creative and innovative digital developments across all areas of school life. It celebrates the College’s commitment to digital upskilling with five resident ‘Microsoft Elevate Educator Experts’ amongst our staff body and a further 60 staff currently completing digital professional development.
Foundation Director of Digital Strategy, Andy Compton, comments, “Being a Microsoft Elevate Showcase School has been a key strand of our Digital Development Strategy, which is focused on ensuring pupils develop the digital skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving technological world. As a Showcase School, the College will continue to drive and develop tailored and personalised learning for pupils by embedding technology into the school’s teaching across the curriculum. This award helps us empower teachers and leaders to develop the teaching and learning in their subject areas, using digital tools, in conjunction with our focus on challenge, creativity and curiosity in the classroom.”
