Laptops
At Robert May's School we have a commitment to preparing our students for life after Robert May's.
Part of this is developing their digital literacy skills so that they can access the world of work.
In light of this we have a 1:1 devices policy for our students. This means that parents/carers will
purchase a laptop for their child, through a school based scheme, for use in school. It is important
that these devices are similar and compatible with safeguarding regulations so once your child has
been accepted into Robert May's School we will communicate the system of purchase for you. The
cost of the device is approx £600 and this can be purchased over a 30 month period or as an outright
one off payment.
The use of laptop devices in school by every child has huge benefits by:

Providing tools to support teachers in effectively checking the progress of students inside and
outside of lessons so that teaching can be efficiently adapted
Enabling more teaching and support targeted to individual learning needs
Allowing students to access presentations, examples and explanations multiple times
Providing access to far greater resources
Allowing teachers to give feedback on students9 work online and respond quickly
Improving the continuity of learning between school and home
Giving students the opportunity to collaborate together on projects through shared documents
If you require financial assistance for the purchase of these devices then please make contact with
us and we can support this.
