Equipment
One Student ; One Device:
Colyton Grammar School launched the use of laptops for our students in 2019/20. By harnessing technology, we have opened a wealth of opportunities to improve your child's experience as part of our blended approach to learning which amplifies the impact of our traditional approaches to teaching. In addition, we are providing them with the appropriate skills for a future in a modern world.
Working with EduTech we offer a parent contribution scheme for new students joining the school. EduTech has excellent service provision, a proven track record in the sector, and will offer direct support for any damage and repairs. Their support team is available Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, and Saturday 10am to 6pm. They can be contacted through an online enquiry form, via email, and by phone. The supplier will provide us with replacement laptops so that we limit the wait for any major repairs, e.g. broken screens.
Further details on how to sign up to the parent contribution scheme, laptop specifications, and a set of FAQs, will be provided upon joining the school.
Our primary objective is to provide your child with a stellar educational experience and these laptops sit at the heart of that. Their use has contributed to the academic success of hundreds of students in all years. With your support and understanding, for which we are ever grateful, they will continue to do so.
Mathematics Equipment:
Pupils require mathematical equipment, including ruler, compasses and protractor. Calculators are used frequently and it is a great advantage for pupils to have their own calculators. We recommend Casio fx-83gt Plus.
Writing Implements:
The school stresses the importance of neat and orderly presentation of work and recommends that all students possess the following:
- Pens
- Pencils
- Eraser
- Pencil Sharpener
- 15cm Ruler
- Glue Stick
Bag:
Students need a bag/backpack large enough to carry day-to-day requirements (up to A4 size folders etc) but not so large that it cannot be carried comfortably!
