Many of our guests and listeners have told us they want to hear the voices of the students to let us know how they think the future of education might look. So we listened! We are glad to be joined by students (and staff) from Cheam Common Junior Academy in Surrey, part of the LEO Academy Trusts.  As an EdTech Demonstrator School, Cheam Common is now supporting the delivery of the Department for Education’s new national programme, providing peer-led advice and training to help schools and colleges use technology to support remote teaching and improve their digital capability.   The students joining us today are some of the digital leaders at Cheam and we are looking forward to hearing their ideas.
