It was back in May 2013, at the SSAT’s Achievement Show, that I met Alan Frame, a headteacher from Downlands Community School in Dorset. We talked about our digital leaders and the impact they were having on our schools. He also mentioned that he was holding a “KidsMeet”, something that I had heard of but didn’t know too much about. Before long we had agreed to find a date to hold our own KidsMeets, and link up via Skype. This was the beginning of a fantastic journey.
In November, children from five Wirral primary schools (St Andrews CE, Poulton Lancelyn, Heygarth, The Priory Parish CE, and Hillside) joined us for a whole day. Our original plan was to run the event in a similar way to a TeachMeet, one presenter at a time, sharing their work, a website, an app, or a particular style of learning that they enjoy or which helps them to learn.
