Prescot Primary
and Nursery
Prescot Primary School has been an Apple Distinguished School since 2015. They have become a shining example to schools all over the country. MCC Digital have supported their transformation and now support the school, senior leadership, educators and pupils get the most out of their investment in the latest and greatest Apple technology.
Prescot Primary use Apple technology to connect pupils to the world, fuel creativity, deepen collaboration and make learning personal. For them, it is also an important part of how they ensure equality of provision for all, putting all of their learners first. Now more than ever, Prescot Primary understands that they must harness the power of technology to give their children the best possible chance of success.
The selection of Prescot Primary as an Apple Distinguished School highlights our success in creating an innovative and compelling learning environment that engages pupils and allows all children to access our rich curriculum.
The school currently provides all children from Y2 with a 1:1 iPad that they keep as their own until Y6 - 24/7. This allows their children to easily access their personalised classrooms at school and at home and develops a love of learning by encouraging ownership and independence.
Innovation.
"Our trust in technology as another teacher in the room has encouraged us to invest in educational platforms that are changing the way that our children learn to read, spell and improve their maths fluency. The success of these platforms rests on the fact that our children have their own Apple device. Our children access high quality, adaptive resources at the touch of a button, whether at home or in school. In addition to providing engaging, personalised learning opportunities, we have seen a significant impact on teacher workload. Teachers value time. A technology-rich learning environment rewards teachers with time and they reinvest it into our pupils."
Collaboration.
"Alongside their personal profiles, children are encouraged to record, collaborate, create and problem-solve with their iPads. However, apps such as Clips have changed the way the children can record their learning, create tutorials for each other or make short movies. As part of an ongoing oracy project, we have seen how children talk more freely into an iPad, shedding their inhibitions and anxieties around speaking aloud. Recent successes include books read aloud with expression by some of our less confident readers. Outcomes for all aspects of English have improved."
Success.
When our pupils reflect on their iPad as a learning tool, they all agree that it would be much more difficult to learn without it. They recognise that they engage quicker, address misconceptions more easily, create and collaborate more successfully and share instantly. We know that a 1:1 iPad builds learning confidence.
