- 12. Staff Comment “The Student Innovators give us really useful feedback on latest apps and technology. Their thoughts feed directly into our planning because they’re objective, honest and they represent a young person’s perspective. And we listen! For example, our tutors are already using the ‘Yammer’ app with their students, based on a recommendation from Liam. Being an Innovator is great for the students themselves, as it gives them an alternative outlet to explore and develop their skills. And it’s helpful for staff too. All round this is a brilliant initiative.” (Head of School - Computing)
