“We currently have the opportunity to work with a company to supply iPads to the school with an initial trial in years one and five.

“We hope this event will help us raise money so that we can invest in the infrastructure needed to extend this across the school and also benefit from developmental input from external experts to get the most from this technology in an educational setting.”

This giant walk to school will involve many members of the school community, aiming to raise £3,000 for IT in the school.
