Chromebooks – quick, robust and accessible devices – provide a great platform to help our students become responsible digital citizens and lifelong learners. Technology allows the school to extend effective and engaging learning beyond the classroom. Students will have access anytime to information and resources wherever they are.

Traditional methods of learning and teaching still have an important place in education and will continue in our academy. Chromebooks will be a powerful educational tool and will complement these methods. Our students will be taught to use these devices productively and appropriately.

We have been using Chromebooks in lessons for over 4 years and they have been a fantastic addition to the classroom, particularly as we have met the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. The feedback from both staff and students has been extremely positive.

Our scheme is an opt in scheme; provision will be made for all students. As an academy, we firmly believe in the merits of the scheme and the educational benefits it offers students and expect that parents will want to support the initiative.

If your child is in receipt of free school meals or there is any other financial obstacle to participating, please contact the school using the form at the bottom of the page and we can discuss how we can support you to order a Chromebook.
