Digital Schools Award Scotland

The official Digital Schools Award Scotland (DSAS) is a national awards scheme to promote, recognise and encourage a whole school approach to the use of digital technology in schools, and the award has already been achieved by over 20% of our Edinburgh schools.

One of the key actions of Edinburgh Learns Digital Strategy is for all schools and establishments to engage with our DSAS Self-Evaluation toolkit.

To enable establishments to gather views and reflections from more than one practitioner or area of practice we have created a Microsoft Form for each section of the official self-evaluation, ready for the Digital Learning Coordinator to duplicate, personalise and use with staff. Taking the whole team along on this journey will highlight areas of good practice and easily identify areas for development.

All schools can register for the award to access the support documents and official self-evaluation.

Education Scotland also have a useful support page HERE.

Digital Wellbeing Award

The Digital Wellbeing Award (and the associated Digital Wellbeing Framework) has been designed by Digital Schools Award (supported by Scottish Government, Child Protection Unit & Police Scotland) to provide education professionals with the resources and support required to help pupils safely navigate the digital world. 

As with the Digital Schools Award, the Digital Wellbeing Award is completed online with one response per establishment. As with DSAS, we have created a Form to support you to gather the views and opinions of your staff team:
