Lesson Observations

Assessments & Results

Surveys & Resources

After 2/3 years of 1:1 iPad: • Record results at GCSE (age 16) and A level (age 18)

• Gap closed for PP students • Big increase in top grades (A/A*) • Classes that engaged the most with iPad & iTunes U seeing the biggest gains/progress (Science, Maths, PE)

• No decrease in behaviour/results slippage!

Does it have an impact?

Other areas of savingsThere are numerous savings observed including:

• Reduction in spending on traditional PC infrastructure (£50k+)

• Reduction in spending on some online services, such as VLEs, online gaming software (£10k)

• Reduction in spending on printing, paper, copying and student planners (£30k+)
