A North Ayrshire high school has become the first secondary in Scotland to receive a prestigious accolade for digital education.  St Matthew’s Academy, Saltcoats, has achieved the Digital Schools Endorsement Award.  The Digital Schools Awards (DSA) is a national awards scheme that promotes, recognises and encourages a whole-school approach to the use of digital technology. St Matthew’s has achieved the Endorsement Award in recognition of projects in the school.  Headteacher Stephen Colligan said: “We are delighted to be the first secondary school in Scotland to achieve this and it is testament to the wonderful work being done across the whole school – by both teaching staff and the students themselves.  “We know the importance of digital technology in education today and we are committed to preparing our pupils for further education, training and work by ensuring they have all the tools, knowledge and experience they need to thrive.”
