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.

Spare devices
When a device is malfunctioning, damaged or lost, simply swap it for a spare so there’s no disruption to learning. 
Image
Hassle free repairs

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

Image
Replacement devices
If a device is accidentally damaged, lost or stolen, it can be replaced with a like for like model free of charge. 
Image
Funding Options
Lease the devices or ask parents to contribute to the costs. They could even own the device after 3 years. 
Image
No extra admin time
No complicated insurance or warranty claims. Everything is handled by the service team on behalf of the school. 
Example 1:1 Programmes

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.

How else can you save money with a 1:1 programme?

Printing
How much paper and printing costs could you save if you distributed digital worksheets to students?

Staff Time
If you can reduce the time spent creating and distributing worksheets, speed up the feedback and the assessment process etc., how much is your staff time worth? Not to mention staff retention and reduced cover/recruitment costs.

Energy
If students charge devices at home and you reduce the number of desktops and laptop trolleys, you could save a significant amount on energy bills.
