IT Device Procurement 2026
Cornerstone Academy Trust runs Broadclyst, Monkerton, Westclyst, Yeo Valley, Clyst Heath, Countess Wear and Marpool Primary Schools. Our schools create and promote a challenging learning environment that inspires children to achieve high standards and become life-long learners.
The Trust has high expectations, builds children’s confidence, and ensures success for all. We seek to foster creative thinkers, inquisitive questioners, and avid problem solvers with flexible skills, who are successful communicators. Children learn to collaborate effectively at all levels, including working with our international partners and are able to adapt to the needs of a diverse and fast changing society.
ICT Integration Goals
- We aim for pupils to have opportunities to use ICT as an integral part of their learning across the curriculum and in a wide range of contexts.
- We aim for the use of ICT to have a clear impact in improving pupils’ learning. Pupils should attain increasingly high levels of confidence and independence to apply and develop their use of ICT as they move through the school.
- We aim to provide opportunities for pupils to make regular, informed decisions about when and how to use ICT and for them to have high expectations about using ICT to support their learning both within and beyond the school. Specifically, and in line with our mission statement
- We aim for pupils to use ICT to significantly improve their creativity and their ability to investigate, solve problems, refine their work, learn from their mistakes, collaborate with others and reflect critically on their learning.
- We aim for pupils to adopt consistently safe practices in their use of ICT both in school and elsewhere. They should apply their knowledge, skills and understanding to ensure safe and effective use of a wide range of digital resources and adapt these to new and emerging technologies
