Broadclyst Primary is technology pioneer

Just one of three in England

A Devon school is one of just three in the country to be included in a government’ initiative to help teachers deliver lessons over the internet to children at home. Broadclyst Community Primary School is the only one in the south west to become a 'demonstrator school' that is considered a leader in using technology in education.

Microsoft Showcase Schools embrace technology to create personalised, immersive, and inclusive experiences for children, transforming education and improving learning outcomes.


Jonathan Bishop, chief executive of The Cornerstone Academy Trust, of which Broadclyst is part said: “We are delighted that Broadclyst will be using its extensive knowledge and experience to help schools build their own digital strategies and select their learning platforms. We will be supporting governors and trustees, advising on the procurement and set-up of digital devices, as well as providing training for teachers on the use of edtech in their teaching, keeping children safe online, giving the best support to children with Special Education Needs and offering advice on wider curriculum opportunities.”
