Alva Primary School and Bridge of Allan Primary School

Alva Primary School and Bridge of Allan Primary School will partner to give pupils opportunities to develop digital skills for their future. Alva Primary School will focus on engaging girls while Bridge of Allan will focus on pupils who are not currently engaged in STEM. The aim is to inspire pupils to aspire to careers in the technologies sector, with a focus on programming, by developing coding skills in a way that is supportive, inspirational and creative. Utilising their own interests and inspiration for the work they create, children aged 9-11 will learn the basics of coding using a variety of platforms before working on their own projects. Pupils will also be encouraged to take part in the Duke of York Inspiring Digital Enterprise Award (iDEA).
