The Department for Education (DfE) has provided 64 laptops to Mark Rutherford School to help students and families access remote education during the current pandemic lockdown.
There is a Government requirement to currently provide remote learning and Mark Rutherford students have shown tremendous resilience since the national lockdown was announced on Monday January 4.
Deputy Headteacher Kelli Foster said: “Without the appropriate technology, the challenges of the current lockdown could have a detrimental impact on student’s education and welfare, particularly the most vulnerable.
“This technology will remove some of the barriers faced with remote learning.
“I am so proud of the mature response shown by our students and as school leaders endeavour to refine education or provision by always putting well-being and safety first.”
