Empowered Learning at Clermiston

The Empowered Learning Project is part of the City of Edinburgh Council’s ambitious and inclusive education strategy, Edinburgh Learns for Life. 

The investment of £17.6m in our Empowered Learning project will provide a world class digital environment for all learners. The Empowered Learning Project will gave every young person from P6 to S6 an iPad. Shared iPads are available for use in P1 to P5 and Early Years. These devices have significantly enhanced the learning experience through equity of access, encouraging innovation, evoking imagination, and nurturing a love of learning. The project has created a unique opportunity to unlock the potential of every learner across all schools and allows collaboration and innovation to flourish in our city.

Here at Clermiston, we have embraced Empowered Learning with full force! Our pupils have quickly adapted to utilising the iPads in the most creative ways, collaborating with each other to find exciting new ways of engaging with their learning. The children love having ownership of their learning and the ability to adapt their iPads to suit their own individual needs and styles.

iPad Guardians!

Before the P6 and P7 iPads are sent home, and the pupils become iPad guardians, Parents and Carers are asked to read the Home School and Responsible Use agreements with their child, and then sign and return these to their class teacher. If you have lost your paper copy and you need to take another look or reiterate the agreements with your child, you will find copies below.
