If your child is without a device for a short period of time you can arrange a short-term loan through the school.
If this is due to awaiting repair and you have purchased your child's device via our school technology partner Easy4U, the cost of the loan device will be covered by your insurance, however, if you have purchased your device privately you will be recharged a nominal fee.
The cost of loaning a school device is as follows:

Loans can only be arranged for a maximum of one school term.
