Chromebook Purchase Scheme

Following the success of the chromebook purchase scheme last year, we are looking to run the scheme again this year with delivery and payments starting in March 2022.

The scheme offers you the option of purchasing a Chromebook for a fixed monthly payment. (Payment amount will depend on the length of time you choose to pay over).

Your child will then be given a brand new Chromebook laptop with insurance. The Chromebook will be brought to school every day to support your child’s learning in school and then returned home each day to facilitate with home learning.

We are opening the scheme to children currently in Years 2 – 5. (Year 2 children will not be expected to bring their device into school each day but we are offering it to these pupils in preparation for Year 3.)

Please complete the survey at the link below to express your interest. If we find we have enough interest, further information, including costs, will be shared about the scheme before you need to decide to commit.

FYI – Following this year, we will only be offering the scheme on a bi-annual basis so the next opportunity will be in the academic year 2023-24. NB. Completing this form does not commit you to the scheme. We are merely just gathering expressions of interest.

Online Safety

Our current focus value in school is kindness. We have spent time in assembly and in class discussing what kindness looks and feel like. It is important that we are not only kind in real life but also online. The guide below discusses ways we can be kind online and applies to both children and adults. Please share and discuss with your child:

Big Talk (Please discuss with your children):

This week’s topic is… Discuss your last act of kindness – What was it? Who was it for? How did you feel afterwards? How do you think they felt?
