Devices and Internet Access for Families

Should we have a significant period of school closure we are in the position to be able to load Chromebooks to families and apply for internet dongles.

How do I apply for a device or internet support for my child?

Should you need support with a device or additional internet access, please see the information below:

• Device issues – a mobile phone can be enough for children to see and hear the learning on Seesaw, and take a photo to upload.  But if you do not have a device that works please email us office@fordleyprimary.org.uk or ring 0191 2502207 and we will do our best to support you with the loan of a device.

• Internet issues – we can apply for 4G routers to support with internet access.  If this is something you need help with, please email us office@fordleyprimary.org.uk or ring 0191 2502207 and we will do our best to support you

What will I receive for my child?

If you request a device on loan, your child will have a chromebook to use for their home learning (as well as being able to pick up exercise books and stationery packs from school).

We will ask you to come and sign a loan agreement and acceptable use agreement and you will get:

• a copy of the loan agreement
• a copy of the acceptable use agreement
• a copy of all logins for Seesaw, Times Tables Rockstars and Spelling Shed
• Online safety advice
• a simple user guide
• a chromebook set up for the use of your child only.  It can only be logged in with your child's user name and password (we will set this up ready and give you the login details).
