How Apple devices support your child’s learning
Take advantage of the power of iPad and Mac
Both teachers and students alike love Apple devices, and with good reason. iPad and Mac open up opportunities to bring lessons to life with creative and engaging learning experiences. With hundreds of thousands of education apps, books and videos, there’s resources for every subject level and age.
Whether students are taking their first steps in coding, exploring interactive models of the human body, or unleashing their creativity through music videos and design, it’s all possible with Apple.
Complete security
From the ground up, iPad and Mac are designed to be secure, stable and robust – Apple products and services for education are designed with the same approach. Built-in security features keep your children safe while using their devices, and Apple School Manager gives school IT teams the power to enforce security settings and updates on devices to protect from hackers and malware, even if your child keeps them at home.
Protecting students’ privacy
The privacy of students is fundamental to the design of Apple hardware, software and services. With features and services designed just for schools, such as Managed Apple IDs, Apple School Manager and Shared iPad, student information is kept private and protected. When accounts are set up, you can be sure any and all data is only used educational purposes.
Getting on board with your child’s learning
To get the best results from Apple, parents need to be on board, supporting their children’s learning inside and outside the classroom. Having the latest classroom technology at home and in school means parents are able to explore and take part in their child’s education like never before.
We know this technology can greatly benefit the education and life chances of pupils, so it’s time for teachers, parents and students to come together to create a brighter future for young learners.
A smart investment in your child’s future
Parental contribution
A parental contribution scheme allows schools to provide every pupil with a mobile device to use every day in school and at home for learning. It relies on both the school and parents like yourself contributing to the device, so the cost for each is lower. It relieves pressure on the school budget, improves the pupil’s access to learning materials, and helps you engage with your child’s education.
Setting up a parental contribution scheme at Stephenson Memorial
Stephenson Memorial’s iPad scheme started in the 2012 summer term and relied on every child in Year 5 owning their own device and taking it between home and school. The families entered into a two year rental agreement that was non-profit, so the repayments were kept low. And at the end of the agreement, the parents got to keep the devices. The successful scheme has allowed their students to take ownership of their learning beyond 3pm every day.
50% attainment increase. Above-expected progress. Remote engagement.
