How a Primary Computing Lead Uses Seesaw to Drive Whole-School Impact

A special educational needs coordinator works with a student during class.

For computing leads and digital leaders, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring technology has a meaningful impact across the school — not simply adding more platforms or replacing paper with screens.

The most effective digital strategies improve teaching, increase engagement, strengthen communication, and make learning more visible for every pupil.

That’s exactly what Rachel Marchant, Computing Lead at Downs Junior School in Brighton, shared in our latest webinar, where she explained how her school is using Seesaw to support learning across the curriculum.

Watch a Real School Example of Seesaw in Action

In the session, Rachel shares how Seesaw helps pupils capture learning through photos, videos, voice notes, drawings, and reflections — giving teachers richer insight into progress while helping children take greater ownership of their work.

Rather than focusing only on final outcomes, Seesaw helps make the full learning journey visible.

For computing leads and senior leaders, Rachel’s experience offers practical ideas for embedding technology in ways that support:

  • Teaching and learning
  • Pupil voice and ownership
  • Ongoing assessment
  • Family engagement
  • Whole-school consistency

Why Visibility MattersA teacher helps 3 students with a digital writing project

When learning is visible, teachers can better understand progress, pupils can reflect more confidently, and families can engage more meaningfully.

This creates a stronger connection between classroom learning and home, while helping children feel proud of their achievements.

Strategic Insight for School Leaders

The webinar also features Jenna Crittenden FRSA from the Chartered College of Teaching, sharing insights on inclusion, agency, and what schools should value when recognising learning.

Together, the session combines practical school-led implementation with wider strategic thinking for leaders reviewing their digital approach.
