This 1:1 Device Agreement outlines the responsibilities and expectations of both parents and pupils regarding the use of 1:1 devices provided by St. Christopher’s The Hall. By signing this agreement, both parties agree to abide by the terms stated within.
As a school we are prepared to provide all of the support and resources needed to make this work, but we also need the commitment of parents and pupils.
It also outlines the commitment that will be needed from the home, and from the children themselves, to make this work.
