IT Information for Thirds
Digital Devices
All pupils joining the Thirds are required to purchase an iPad, configured and managed by Bancroft’s. This will help us to control the online safety of all pupils, and ensure a consistent experience whilst enhancing their educational provision from Thirds until Fifths.
The supply of these devices will come from a third-party provider, who will also provide break/fix insurance. There are a variety of payment options available which will include in-school support for breakage, but not loss or theft. At the end of the Lower Fourth, the device insurance can be extended for a further two years, or a new managed device can be purchased.
Further details and how to order
Mobile Phones
We accept that pupils may need a mobile phone for use on their journey to and from school, however, mobile phones are not to be used during the school day and will need to be kept in their locker.
We strongly recommend that you monitor and limit your child’s use of their devices, especially their use of social media.
IT Policies
When pupils join us in September, they will be allocated their personal log-in for the school IT system. They will be required to sign to confirm that they understand the importance of the safe and responsible use of electronic communication. Please read the Acceptable Use Policy here:
