Equipping Your Child
If you are providing your child with a suitable device
- We would recommend a sturdy case and bag to transport it to school Parents are advised to have insurance/accidental damage cover for the device and this may well already be covered under your home contents policy School insurance will not cover student-owned devices in the event of loss, damage or breakage The school will require you and your child to sign an Acceptable Use Policy Students will be allowed to keep their own content on their devices.
If you wish to purchase the device through the school vendor
- As well as the information above
- Please read the information booklet on the home page for information as well as the FAQs Deadline for purchasing through the portal is Friday 20th May at 9am If you qualify for Pupil Premium support or are facing financial hardship, applications are encouraged via the form that was emailed to you at the beginning of April. These forms must be completed by Monday 18th April at 3pm and sent to finance@ridgeway.herts.sch.uk. Equality of access is a key goal of the scheme and no child should be disadvantaged by this project.
Please make sure that your child brings their device to school each day and that it is fully charged. If your child’s device is broken or in for repair, please provide them with a note explaining the current situation and when you expect the device to be repaired or replaced by. The school only has the capacity to loan devices on a short term basis.
