Mossend Primary School and Nursery Class were delighted to receive the prestigious Digital School Award in December 2020.

Digital Schools Awards is a national awards scheme to promote, recognise and encourage a whole school approach to the use of digital technology in schools. You can find out more about the award at:

Schools that successfully complete the programme receive a nationally recognised award by Education Scotland and at the time of receiving our award we were one of only ten schools in North Lanarkshire (between primary and secondary) and the second nursery class and have been asked to be a mentor school for other establishments to achieve the same status.

The Award is testament to the hard work of our teaching staff, who have been instrumental to developing and implementing our whole school digital learning strategies. Children who attend Mossend Primary School and Nursery Class will be immersed in a range of digital technology and in doing so will develop skills for learning, life and work.

Our teaching is embedded within real-life STEM contexts, designed to encourage collaboration, creativity, innovation, resilience and problem solving with a clear focus on digital literacy, computer science and cyber resilience; preparing our children for entering the adult world where it is now difficult to imagine a job or industry that doesn’t involve some level of digital skills and equipping our pupils to participate fully in the ever digitised social and cultural landscape they now live in.
