At Redbridge school we believe students should become aware users of Technology and not just consumers. Therefore children from Year 1 onwards have Digital Literacy classes taught by a specialist teacher where they learn about how computers work in a very 'hands-on', gamified and innovative way since most of the learning happens off screens. Children learn how to code using programmable robots, they strengthen their reasoning by solving different types of puzzles and they learn important concepts, such as binary or boolean logic, through games. Children are encouraged to ask questions and take part in philosophical enquiry on topics related to Digital Literacy (do robots have emotions, what is intelligence, do innovations have to be useful etc.). Through the different activities, children also learn how to work together, collaborate and develop their resilience and creativity.
As students progress to Middle School, the use of technology increases slightly. At this stage, students are more familiar with digital tools, and teachers can introduce them to more advanced applications. Technology can be employed as a study tool, enabling students to access online resources, conduct research, and collaborate on projects. Teachers may incorporate multimedia presentations, online simulations, or educational websites to enhance lessons and engage students in active learning.
Each classroom starting Year 2 onwards is equipped with an Interactive Whiteboard and iPads are also used to support the learning in all the classes. Redbridge School carefully chooses activities on screens and applications to support students and teachers to make the best use of what technology can bring as value added.

At Redbridge we believe in achieving and maintaing a well-balanced lifestyle for all, including parents, teachers and students.
In the Lower Primary, while children are learning to read, we have an expectation that children will with their families every day. While we do noy assign written home learning activities, we will always encourage and support any extension activities or projects.
In the Upper Primary, research tasks or assignments may be set periodically so that students begin to develop the skills they need to prepare themselves for a specific topic or area of study. These home learning activties are purposeful and meaningful.
In the Middle School, regular home learning is introduced with the aim of developing study skills (time management, prioritisation, autonomy and methodology) and the ability to complete tasks and consolidate learning independently.

It depends on the age and the task set.
