iPad information for Parents and Carers
On this page, you can find information for parents and carers about our 1:1 iPad programme.
By considerable investment from Affinity Learning Partnership and reducing traditional ICT spending the academy will be able to provide all students with their own iPad to use, for just £68 per year. Students will be given the option to buy the device outright at the end of Year 11 or market value .
Insurance:
The academy will provide a case to protect the iPad and suitable repair coverage for the first repair. Parents/carers will be charged for damages if the iPad is damaged with no case on, if the iPad is damaged deliberately or for repeated breakages.
E-Safety:
Both within the academy and at home, student are expected to follow the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) that forms part of the agreement. Within the academy, web access is monitored and filtered. However, we do expect students to develop responsible online habits outside of the academy.
We use a Mobile Device Management system (Lightspeed) to manage each device and install suitable age-related restrictions. Where a student violates the AUP, we will change the user profile to restrict access to certain functions (such as the App store, camera, etc).
If parents/carers would like additional restrictions applying to their child's iPad, then please contact the relevant Head of Year.
All our devices within the academy are covered by an Acceptable Use Policy.
