Digital Leaders
Digital Leaders
Students are learning implicit digital skills at a young age, in many cases long before they reach education. We aim to build on these skills and anchor them to their development, to find new ways to learn and create life long learners. Students that teach and communicate through multiple pathways bring out the best in all of us together. Together we achieve.
Learning is our core business and in order to be truly purposeful it must be creative, collaborative and relevant. We believe we have a duty to provide our students with an education fit for the 21st century, where effective and innovative use of technology is paramount to the demands of the modern world. We recognise the need for our students to be at the forefront of leading with technology. Our students access a range of applications to learn without boundaries and achieve innovation through 1:1 digital technology.
Leadership opportunities
iPad is considered as much a part of the pencil case as traditional tools for learning. The opportunities to create are broadened and it gives our students the connectivity they need to access a range of resources. To do this, we have a workflow that takes advantage of iPad technology. It is one that opens the lines of communication between teacher, parent and student.
We have always taken a student centred approach to learning with technology. Hove Park School has a proven track record of empowering students to become Digital Leaders.

This week at jr STEM club, students continued their work on coding using the ‘code and rescue’ pack. This included using sensors to detect water for a life jacket which activates when submerged and sending messages via morse code. We were really impressed with how students showed initiative, worked well in teams and helped each other to complete the challenges. Well done you were brilliant. Mr Hamblin and Mrs McCutcheon
Hove Park School was fortunate to be invited to participate in the Sussex STEM’s Ricardo’s Antweight Challenge along with 12 other teams. The contestants had a number of task to complete over the day from designing to building a Robot. The robots then competed in two tasks, firstly robot football and then robot sumo. Hove Park entered two teams, throughout the day we accumulated enough points to secure second place! Our teams comprised of studnets from Year 7 to 9. It was an immensely proud day for our students as they rose to each challenge and as always their behaviour was exemplorary.
Hove Park hosted the South East regional final of the 2020 Robotics Challenge today. Run by Tomorrow’s Engineers, the event saw 11 schools taking part from all over the South East. Students had to design, build and program robots to complete a number of tasks. They also faced a number of panels to discuss their robot and presented how robotics could help various humanitarian issues. Hove Park students were exemplary and took all challenges in their stride. St Crispins school won overall and are through to the grand final at the NEC.
