“We started our digital transformation at Wilberforce College in January 2020 with the aim to make our curriculum fully inclusive by leveraging digital technologies both in and out of the classroom.
This gave the College a significant advantage during the National lockdown in March. It enabled us to focus our efforts on developing positive teacher and student interactions in the digital world.
We are now well placed to assist other institutions after being awarded DfE Demonstrator status.
It is our hope that by building trusting relationships with other school leaders, we can ensure that no student in our area suffers loss of learning as a result of the pandemic.”
- Colin Peaks, Principal
“We are the first and only sixth form in the UK to be recognised as a Microsoft Showcase College and the only DfE Demonstrator College for EdTech in Hull and the East Riding.
Our aim is to improve the life chances of all students in our region through high quality leadership, guidance and training.
We are launching an EdTech Hub for the Humber region focusing on regional vision and strategy and Infrastructure.
Via this hub we will work with any educators wishing to engage to improve EdTech skills and confidence.”
- Jonathan Butler, Assistant Principal
“Wilberforce Sixth Form College has a proud history of digital innovation.
The last twenty years has seen the College particularly accelerate its use of digital technology for teaching and learning.”
- Bob Overment, Wilberforce College Governor
