Digi Dudes
Arweinwyr Digidol

At Whitchurch Primary School, we believe it is important for pupils to take ownership of their learning and have greater roles in school decision-making. We provide many opportunities for children to play a role in making the decisions that affect them. We recognise that pupils have logical perspectives and opinions on issues that matter in the classroom, in the school and in the community. We give pupils an active role in influencing decisions about these issues as well as in the implementation of these decisions. We enabling pupils to participate as active young citizens.

Meet our Digi Dudes 2023-2024

Our Digi Dudes thoroughly enjoyed playing the National Cyber Security Centre game ‘Cyber Sprinters’ to help them learn more about cyber safety. 

If your child enjoys online games and may want to join in, here is the link:

Our new School e-Safety Poster 

The Digi Dudes worked hard to create a new e-Safety poster for the school. They spent time thinking about the key tips all children should know about to stay safe online. They then differentiated their tips 3 ways for each progression step. We held Pupil Voice assemblies to launch our posters and ensure all children understood how to be safe online. 

Do you know the importance of keeping your password safe?

Although we focus on Online Safety and Citizenship throughout the year, we also celebrate Safety Internet Day around the school. The Digital Leaders have created presentations based on this years Online Safety mission;

'2023 Mission - Want to talk about it? Making space for conversations about life online'. They will share their work with their peers in assemblies or in class. 

In Whitchurch Primary School, we aim to educate all of our partnerships about Online Safety. Each week, the Digital Leaders choose a digital safety poster from the National Online Safety organisation, in which they feel is relevant and important. We discuss this as a group before sharing on our social media platforms and website.
