Headteacher David Perkins said:” I am delighted that Littletown Primary Academy has been shortlisted for this award regarding our new approach to technology in the school, just six months in to our journey. I am amazed every day by the variety of things that the children are doing using devices and software to enrich their learning and impact on progress.
“This high level combination of computing skills, digital literacy and collaborative learning will be crucial to these pupils as they move to secondary school and adult life.'
