Introduction
Welcome the Shevington High School Chromebooks for learning site. This site includes all the information regarding our parental lease scheme, which provides parents with the option to purchase a device from school partners with several payment options. A copy of Mr Grant's letter is available here.
We are now able to open a second portal and opportunity to purchase. Approximately 200 devices where purchased in the first round and we have reserved stock for additional devices which we expect delivery of in December/January. Please note the latest information regarding the device and pricing is on this website.

We have put together a detailed information guide for parents. If you have any questions please read through this before contacting school.
Bringing Your Own Device
Further information regarding bringing your device is included in the Parent Guide and FAQ document. This includes the minimum recommended requirements and insurance requirements.
Devices can only be brought in to school with a signed parental consent form and must be booked into an induction session with our IT department. A copy of the BYOD policy is available HERE
We would prefer the majority of parents to sign up via the portal as it provides greater classroom management for our teachers.
