Loan Devices

If your child is required to learn from home or a period of time, we are able to provide a loan Microsoft Surface device for your child to use whilst they are at home.

Please contact us to request a device. When we have completed your request we will then send you a consent form shortly after using our usual Groupcall messaging system, where you will be signing to say that you agree with our terms and conditions. If you as a family are unable to collect the device from school you can nominate someone else to collect the device on your behalf. We will be asking anyone who collects the device to sign for it before taking it home.  

The school devices are covered by the Trust’s insurance policy for accidental damage, but any claim has an excess of £250. You will need to pay £250 in the event of accidental damage or the full cost of the device if the damage is not accidental. Photos will be taken before a device is issued and on its return. Please see below for the full terms and conditions that you will be agreeing to when you sign for a device. 

We hope that you will find this service helpful.
