In today’s classrooms, technology is a driver for meaningful change. But how can schools ensure their investment in EdTech leads to real improvements in teaching and learning? Keelham Primary School, in partnership with Elementary Technology, has explored this question in depth.

A new research study, conducted by award-winning researcher and education expert Dr Fiona Aubrey-Smith, examines the first four months of Keelham’s EdTech transformation. This report delves into how digital tools have reshaped the school’s approach to teaching, leadership, and student engagement.

What Does the Report Cover?

Titled An Interim Study of the Impact of Implementing Digital Technology Throughout Keelham Primary School, the report presents a data-driven analysis of Keelham’s journey. By gathering insights from student performance metrics, teacher and pupil interviews, and comparisons with other schools, the study provides a well-rounded picture of the effects of technology on school life.

Readers can expect:

• A detailed exploration of Keelham’s vision for digital transformation and how it aligns with broader school improvement goals.
• Key findings on the impact of technology on learning outcomes, staff confidence, and classroom efficiency.
• Reflections from staff and students, offering first-hand perspectives on how EdTech has reshaped their experiences.
• Practical takeaways for other schools looking to implement or refine their own technology strategies.

Why This Matters for Schools

Keelham’s experience highlights the importance of thoughtful planning, staff engagement, and the right partnerships when integrating digital tools. The research provides valuable lessons for schools at any stage of their own EdTech journey—whether considering new investments or looking to maximise existing resources.
