The Denbigh Alliance Trust is celebrating with two of its schools, Denbigh School and Watling Academy, who have joined Microsoft’s prestigious International Network of Showcase Schools.
The Microsoft Showcase Schools Program is an opportunity to engage with Microsoft and like-minded school leaders around the world to deepen and expand education.
Microsoft’s Showcase Network recognises schools in over 100 countries who are creative and innovative in how they use technology to inspire and empower their students and ultimately improve student outcomes.
Denbigh School has been recognised as a Microsoft Showcase School since 2018 and has had its status renewed for the 2021 – 2022 academic year.
They are one of only 53 schools in the UK to have this prestigious status.
Watling Academy, just two years after it opened, has already secured Incubator Status within the Network, and will now be working towards achieving full status.
Andy Squires, CEO of the Denbigh Alliance Trust said: "We greatly value our schools’ Microsoft Showcase Status as it recognises the drive and passion within the Trust to create the most flexible, technologically advanced learning environments for our students.
"This has been so important during the pandemic and will be just as vital as we support schools across Milton Keynes in our recovery from the impact of COVID-19.
"I am very proud to have members of staff in both schools who have achieved the individual status of Microsoft Innovative Educators (MIEs) in addition to their school’s overall accreditation."
