1:1 Device Initiative

Introduction to the Project

At Barnsole Primary School we recognise the importance of digital skills in today’s modern world. We understand the necessity of preparing our pupils for a future where digital proficiency is paramount. Barnsole and Maritime Academy Trust have been working in collaboration with Leo Academy Trust. Our 1:1 Device Project, initiated in October 2021, is a testament to our commitment to bridging the digital divide and fostering an environment where technology enhances learning and personal development.

Project Aims

The project's core objectives are to:

  • Ensure that every child benefits from free access to their own Chromebook starting in Year 3 and this device stays with them until they leave us in Year 6 
  • Enhance learning opportunities through peer interaction
  • Provide more problem-solving tasks
  • Develop skills in connectivity, collaboration, and innovative learning methods
  • Foster creativity and critical thinking
  • Encourage self-learning and independent exploration

  • By September 2024: We aim for every child in Key Stage 2 at Barnsole to have their own device. This is especially crucial for our disadvantaged pupils who may lack access to technology at home.
