Digital Leaders Charter

Digital Leaders Badge Competition

We had a Digital Leaders badge competition where we used Canva for Education to design a new Digital Leaders Badge.  Mrs Sale said it was very difficult to pick so she chose 2 - one for the Digital Leaders to wear all the time with the RJ Mitchell primary school logo and one with the Aspire Learning Federation logo for special tasks.  The winning badges are below.
