Digital Leaders

At Marlborough Primary School, our Digital Leaders are a team of enthusiastic and responsible pupils who champion the safe and effective use of technology across the school. They support staff and our pupils by assisting with ICT equipment, sharing tips on staying safe online, and helping to introduce new digital tools to our school. As role models for digital learning, our Digital Leaders take part in projects, offer peer support in developing essential skills for the digital age and help make our school a safe, innovative and more connected place to learn.
