Having used school iPads very successfully this year, we feel there could be many educational benefits to being able to spontaneously access the filtered wi-fi in these lessons. This means that from 11th April 2016, Year 10 students may have available, to use in science lessons, their smartphones, tablets etc. The responsibility for these devices still sits firmly with the student to whom they belong and use of these devices will be carefully monitored. Please see our policies for more information, or contact Mr Ashcroft.
