​A total of 38 Scottish schools have been recognised for excellence in digital teaching and learning via the Digital School award.

Launched in September 2016, the Digital Schools programme was developed to support, encourage and recognise schools in their efforts to integrate digital technology across the curriculum.

The programme, which is free to all schools, offers a road-map and resources to schools seeking to do more with technology.

Industry partners HP, Microsoft and Intel operate and co-ordinate the programme, providing funding of £600,000 over five years as well as practical support and resources. One in four schools in Scotland – 668 schools – have registered to participate since its launch and the 2018 awards have gone to 35 primary and three secondary schools.

Schools are encouraged to register on the website, where they can self-evaluate their current practices and standards. Visit www.digitalschoolsawards.co.uk
