A device per child…
from £1 a week
As educators, we truly believe that technology can improve learning outcomes and equip students with future-ready skills.
This is why we are working hard to remove barriers for schools looking to introduce a device per child, and with the biggest barrier often being the cost we are hoping this new approach can make devices more affordable than ever before.


When you have a number of problematic spare devices, arrange for them to be collected, repaired and returned, free of charge.



Below we have outlined how a 1:1 programme can work and how the costs can be managed through parental contributions or a straightforward school lease.
Just remember, we work with each individual school to find the programme that is right for them.
