Rivers Primary Academy Featured on Apple’s Global Platform!

23rd January 2025

We are delighted to share that Rivers Primary Academy has been featured in a prestigious case study on Apple’s global website, highlighting the innovative use of technology as part of Windsor Academy Trust’s EmpowerED Digital Strategy.

This morning, at BETT 2025—Europe's leading education technology event, attracting over 30,000 attendees across Europe—our CEO, Dawn Haywood, joined Apple’s Dominic Liechti, Senior Director of Worldwide Product Marketing, for a fireside chat. Together, they celebrated the launch of the case study, which showcases the incredible work happening across the WAT Family.

The case study reflects the amazing work taking place in every WAT school and features contributions on behalf of us all from Rivers Primary Academy, Goldsmith Primary Academy, and Windsor High School and Sixth Form. This global recognition is particularly significant, as Apple produces only one of these case studies across Europe each year, making this achievement even more remarkable.

Empowering Education, Unlocking Potential

The EmpowerED Digital Strategy has transformed how we teach and learn at Rivers, enabling students to unlock their academic and personal potential while supporting staff by reducing workload and allowing them to focus on delivering exceptional learning experiences.

We are so proud of our students, staff, and the entire WAT Family for making this achievement possible. This is a reflection of everything we can achieve when we work together.
