iPad Information

All year 7 students are issued with an iPad, this part of our 1-to-1 digital strategy : “Learning Futures”. For more detail about a Learning Futures strategy – please click the button below :

Learning Futures

Students have attended an assembly where we reiterated the very clear expectations in terms of conduct using their new devices. In addition, when the students were given their iPads for the first time, they have also been reminded again about what they are allowed and not allowed to do when using their school iPads. Please be aware that behaviour expectations for all students with an iPad and consequences for misuse of an iPad are aligned to our Praise and Behaviour policy.

Please do also remind your child that school has a very sophisticated system that monitors all use of all school devices including the iPads. This also includes technology that sends screenshots to select senior members of staff at school for any infringements of the attached policy.

We would also like to remind students that the device remains the property of the school and if there are serious breaches of the school’s Acceptable Use Policy (please see following link: https://atlp.org.uk/files/2022/11/Acceptable-use-Students.pdf#acceptable-use-policy-students/) or of the attached iPad behaviour expectations, school reserves the right to limit a student’s access with the device or remove the device from the student in order to prevent further misuse.

iPad Classroom Expectations

We would like to thank all of our parents and carers for your support in this matter.
