Christopher Blackwood

Head of Digital Innovation - Victory Heights Primary School

I am the Head of Digital Innovation at Victory Heights Primary, where I focus on bringing emerging educational technologies into the classroom. With a Master’s degree in Primary Pedagogy and Professional Practice, along with Google Level 1 and 2 Educator certifications, and currently enrolled on an NPQSL, I’ve always believed in grounding innovation in solid teaching principles. Leading an AI action research group not only helped me introduce effective AI tools to our curriculum but also resulted in our work being published in the ISC Global AI Study. In addition, I’m involved in several wider research initiatives, including an AI action research project with CEAR. Through these efforts, I strive to inspire both teachers and pupils to embrace the possibilities of digital learning, ensuring that curiosity, engagement, and personalised pathways remain at the heart of education.
