Drummond School in Inverness has taken delivery of a welcome donation of mobile phones thanks to the generosity of local organisation Gadget Refuge and support from the school’s Parent Council.
The devices, which are not connected to the internet, will be used solely as cameras within classrooms to support activities for learning journals, displays and the Google Classroom platform.
The donation supports staff to record pupil progress safely and appropriately as part of their learning journey.
The partnership has also demonstrated the strength of partnership working between the school, parents and the wider community.
Fiona Shearer, acting Head Teacher at Drummond School, was delighted with the initiative to support the school in finding a practical solution that benefits both pupils and staff.
She said: “I was delighted to hear about this initiative at Drummond School this week. This will make such a difference for staff in being able to share pupils' learning with their families and to record progress in learning.
“This is such a good example of local collaboration making a real difference for children and young people at Drummond School.
“We are very grateful to our Parent Council for organising this and to the team at Gadget Refuge for their generous donation to the school.”
