Year 6 iPad Scheme
Over the last few years, technology has moved on leaps and bounds and profound new opportunities for education have emerged. Communication is changing, methods of learning and working are evolving, and if we want our young people to be prepared for the opportunities and challenges they will face, we at the academy must evolve too.
Children spend a lot of time at school, but the learning that takes place at home is also extremely important to their future success. New technology, such as tablet devices, gives us the ability to make learning more engaging and more effective in the classroom, and the opportunity to extend learning beyond it, out into the community. We offer an iPad scheme which we believe enhances students’ learning experiences. We encourage the use of this device to be used as a tool for educational purposes only, in order to ensure each child can access their learning in a safe and supportive platform.
NOTE FOR YEAR 6 PARENTS AND CARERS:
We are excited to offer you the opportunity to join our digital scheme! This is a split scheme where students receive a new iPad at the beginning of year 7 with a refresh scheduled for the beginning of year 9. The rationale for this approach is to ensure that students have access to a high-performance iPad for the duration of their education from years 7 to 11.
Under the new policy your child will receive an upgrade and the following:
● iPad WI-FI 64GB SILVER-GBR 10th Generation
● Rhino case for 10.9/10th Gen
● Tempered glass
● Skiriva stylus
● Extended warranty cover
● 2 year Jamf
● 2 year accidental damage and theft
