Laptop provision for Year 7 students

All of our current students have access to a laptop at home, many of which have been provided by us as a school. These have allowed full access to the curriculum throughout the recent home learning situations but also access to further interventions, allowed all students to access homework on an appropriate device and allowed opportunities for further research and learning that previously wasn’t possible for many students. It is our intention to continue this laptop provision with Year 7, regardless of the situation with COVID 19. If you already have a suitable laptop device, or are in a position to purchase one we would suggest a device with the specification detailed in this link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/hardware-requirements-for-the-teams-app .We will always try to provide any family that requires a laptop and is unable to purchase one themselves, with a school device.

If you can please take the time to quickly answer a few questions below regarding your current equipment at home and, if required register your need for a school device.
