More for less - new narrative

1. Investing in technology saves school budgets

Cost savings through paperless - savings on: paper, photocopying, communications, free learning content such as textbooks

Savings through different technology choices:- no laptop trolleys & IT suites- no calculators, recording equipment, cameras, atlasses, globes & timetables- potentially cheaper use of space- parents pay for device, content & recharging of personal devices
