The evidence showed a strong consensus on the need for digital

literacy to be embedded within the curriculum not just as a separate

subject, but as a third core subject underpinning all others

numeracy and literacy. Digital literacy is an essential tool that underpins other

subjects and almost all jobs.

In order for the promise of technology to work we need

strong digital leadership in our schools…

Heads can’t be expected to be experts in technology, but they

would be wise to utilise its power for the betterment of the children,

teachers and people they serve and this is where a true digital leader lies

mindset that leverages available resources to improve what we do

while anticipating the changes needed to cultivate a school

culture focused on engagement and achievement.
