| Digital Competence Framework Vision Statement At Y Bont Faen Primary School we have a vision to transform teaching and learning which will equip all learners with the skills needed to live, learn and work in the 21st Century. We want to create an environment that stimulates lifelong learning, making full use of opportunities presented by technology. This will create learners who are creative, independent, resourceful, resilient thinkers who are able to adapt to all situations. To do this, we have a well-planned and digital curriculum with ICT being integral in all aspects of the curriculum. Teachers carefully plan how to use a variety of technological devices with children to improve their Literacy and Numeracy skills and raise standards of achievement for all learners across all Areas of Learning and Experience. |
Technology and the internet provide amazing opportunities for our pupils, online safety is an important part of keeping children safe at Y Bont Faen Primary. Online safety is taught to all pupils throughout the year, explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online. Hwb also has excellent advice and resources about Online Safety:
Y Bont Faen also have their Digital Council who meet every 3rd Wednesday. They have produced a video presentation on online safety for our website.
You can also see the presentation they created for an assembly on Safer Internet Day in February 2025.
