TPS Digital Strategy

2020 - 2025

Digital
Strategy

Foreward

Twickenham Prep School is an independent day school for boys
and girls based in Hampton. The School has invested well in
technology over the years and has established a good base from
which to implement a digital strategy for the next five years.

The School has a fully-functioning ICT suite with 20 student PCs,
interactive whiteboard and 40 iPads. The iPads can be borrowed to
allow technology use throughout the curriculum and teachers are
encouraged to make use of these.

Pupils have studied previously Computing with a specific focus on
productivity skills. They have less confidence with Coding specific
skills although a Coding club is offered by a third party company.

The School is now in an excellent position to move into the next
technological phase. With the appointment of a new Head of ICT
and Computing, a fresh and innovative stage is about to unfold.



Where are we heading?

Our Vision

At Twickenham Prep School, it is our
goal to create confident, articulate and

creative pupils who embrace
technology throughout their learning.

We aim for all of our staff to have the
confidence to demonstrate how digital
technology can be used to improve the

learning of our pupils. We seek the
recognition of the positive

impact digital technology has on the
quality of learning and teaching, pupil

attitudes and behaviour.

Through a seamless, unified digital
system we aim encourage adoption of
technology throughout the curriculum
providing staff and students with the
best possible learning environment.

Twickenham Preparatory School.

This is a working document which will adapt and change to the
requirements of the School at that moment,

It is intended as a road-map to allow for the budgeting of future
requirements and is not to be used as a step-by-step guide.

This should be informally reviewed annually to ensure it remains
relevant and fully reviewed at the end of the cycle.
