At BSM, technology is integrated thoughtfully across the curriculum and is always linked to clear educational goals.
We do not believe that more screen time automatically leads to better learning. Instead, we follow ISP’s evolving principle of Screen Value.
Screen Value means using technology only when it meaningfully improves the learning experience.
Examples of high screen value activities may include:
Real-time formative assessment and feedback
Collaborative learning using shared documents
Creative digital production such as presentations, coding, podcasts, or multimedia work
Accessibility tools and adaptive learning support
Translation and multilingual support
Data-informed teaching and personalised feedback
Blended Learning
Blended Learning
Equally, we recognise that many important learning experiences are often better achieved away from screens.
In many subjects, students experience a mixture of traditional and digital learning approaches. As reflected in our internal Chromebook guidance for staff, departments are encouraged to maintain a balanced blended learning approach wherever appropriate, ensuring students continue to develop essential skills such as handwriting fluency, reading comprehension, organisation, discussion, and note-taking.
Technology use varies across year groups and subjects and is always planned around clear learning intentions rather than device usage targets.
Students at BSM continue to regularly engage in:
Handwriting and extended written work
Reading physical texts
Structured classroom discussion and debate
Practical experiments and hands-on learning
Sport and physical activity
Creative arts and collaborative group work
