In Abronhill Primary School and Nursery Class, we encourage our staff, pupils and parents to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by digital technology in order to raise attainment, ambition and opportunities for all.

We recognise and understand the digital needs of our pupils and how we can enrich the teaching and creative learning opportunities that we offer them.
