Digital Leaders - Pupil Voice Presentation

Couldn’t be more proud of my amazing Digital Leaders from Birchwood Primary School today. Was a real honour to share the stage with them as they presented to over 100 teachers from around the Midlands at Villa Park (Birmingham) at the ICT for Education conference and gave an amazing presentation about coding and computational thinking. I’ve always been a huge advocate of the ‘pupil voice’ and I strive to help give pupils these rich opportunities and memorable experiences. This will be a day that these pupils will never forget and I was blown away with how confidently they presented to a room full of adults for almost 20 minutes. There was rightly lots of praise and lovely comments for their fantastic presentation and I almost had a tear in my eye as they took the applause of the packed room. I’m lucky to get to do many wonderful in the world of education, but presenting alongside my pupils in this way is unquestionably the most special and one that means the most.
