ICT Devices

ICT or laptop support is where our young people require access to a computer to help them navigate the daily demands of the curriculum.  In general, our young people utilise this to support with literacy and writing tasks, in class, however our laptops are also used for numeracy and organisation.

Typically, a young person would receive ICT support where an identification of dyslexia is in place or where literacy difficulties have been identified.  In addition to this, where there is a difficulty in quality or speed of writing, ICT support may also be necessary. 

We have a bank of Chromebooks available for our young people to access. Identified pupils are welcome to borrow these when needed, using a sign out system. 

For some pupils a dedicated laptop may be necessary. Please contact your Support for Learning team who can advise you if think this is required.

Absolutely! 

Although we do advise that if damage is a concern then this may not be the best option. Neither Williamwood High School or East Renfrewshire Council can be held liable for any damage to personal items.
