William Lovell CofE Academy, part of LAAT, is thrilled to announce that all pupils will be receiving their own digital devices as part of the Trust’s ambitious digital strategy.
Three years ago, LAAT set out a bold vision to ensure every child across its 23 schools has access to the tools, skills, and knowledge needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world. This initiative enhances learning outcomes, develops digital literacy, and provides equitable access to technology for all students.
Partnering with Apple
Pupils at William Lovell will receive an iPad, a protective cover, and a leaflet detailing safe and responsible use, along with guidance on support and troubleshooting. The roll-out begins on 10th November, with information events planned for both pupils and parents to ensure everyone is confident and prepared.
“This initiative is about more than just technology; it’s about giving every student equal access to opportunities that will shape their future. By providing every pupil with their own iPad, we’re breaking down barriers to learning and empowering our young people to achieve their very best. It’s a privilege to be one of the first LAAT schools to launch this ambitious programme,” said Emma Bennett, Headteacher.
Trust-Wide Digital Strategy
Over the next three years, every child in Year 3 and above at all LAAT schools will receive a 1:1 digital device. Additionally, Early Years and Key Stage 1 pupils will begin their digital journey with iPads at school, preparing them for future learning.
Jackie Waters-Dewhurst, CEO at LAAT, commented: “Digital technology is now a central part of life, and we want our pupils to have not only the skills and knowledge they need to succeed but also the tools to make the most of every learning opportunity. Being part of LAAT means every child is seen, valued, and supported to flourish.”
