iPad Information for Students

Students in Years 7 - 8: DOVE CAMPUS

We are very excited to be expanding our 1:1 iPad programme for September 2021 to now include all Y7 and Y8 students on Dove Campus. All students in Year 7 and 8 will have the opportunity to get a 32GB Education iPad, a case, a stylus and a range of apps. Students must take care of it and follow guidelines, especially keeping it in the case, or you may have to pay for damage/repairs.

We will create a Managed Apple ID for you, giving you 200GB of free cloud storage space. We will also download a variety of school apps directly to your iPad and make other apps available using our own self-service app portal.

We will periodically review behaviour points/academic summaries to allow some students additional apps, access and freedom, if you demonstrate responsible behaviour and a good attitude to school rules and expectations
