Starbank Primary School

Starbank used their grant to purchase a class set of VR headsets, which are used by each year group and shared with the other two Starbank primary sites. The headsets allow pupils to broaden their learning beyond their own lived experiences by immersing them in science topics inside the classroom.

The VR headsets are also used in STEM after-school clubs, where pupils explore how technology is changing the world of work and learn computer coding with Minecraft Education in VR. The school is also introducing pupils to careers in digital technology and science.

The integration of VR in STEM at Starbank Primary has provided immersive, interactive learning experiences that foster global connections and inclusivity. This technology continues to engage students and make learning more engaging and fun, helping pupils create vivid, three-dimensional learning environments that promote practical understanding and long-term retention.
