KCSiE Statutory Guidelines
The Department for Education’s statutory guidance, obliges schools and colleges in England to “ensure appropriate filters and appropriate monitoring systems are in place and regularly review their effectiveness” and they “should be doing all that they reasonably can to limit children’s exposure to the above risks from the school’s or college’s IT system” however, schools will need to “be careful that “over blocking” does not lead to unreasonable restrictions as to what children can be taught with regards to online teaching and safeguarding.”

Courthouse Green Primary School
Courthouse Green Primary School has around 800 iPads in use across both schools in Triumph Trust, Coventry. The school has invested in 1:1 iPad deployment for pupils in Years 3-6, which means almost all children now have their own exclusive iPad, improving creativity, interactivity, and accessibility for all. In 2021, the school was awarded Apple Distinguished School status for its innovative use of iPad.

Apple technology is simplicity itself; everything you’re ever going to need and it’s accessible to children of all ages. It’s enabled the children to lead their own learning and to present it in a more creative way and the teachers have developed their knowledge and skill set often alongside the children. Pupils can proudly demonstrate their skill sets and are able to collaborate with others whilst sharing and adapting their understanding.
