We are pleased to offer BT's ComputAbility service, which allows schools to link with families to enable them to access the curriculum remotely. ComputAbility empowers parents to change how technology is used in the classroom.
ComputAbility presents an alternative way for schools and colleges to close the IT skills gap in education, enabling technology-based learning. It is a "parent partnership 1:1 programme" between your school and your pupils' parents or guardians, where they fund the technology their children need to get the most from the teaching and learning experience, both in school and at home.
Compared to buying outright on the high street*, the investment is made affordable for parents because of both the economies of scale that come from a large group purchase, and regular "bite-sized" monthly payments required. Once the final payment is made the device is theirs to keep.
BT offers a wide range of devices from trusted brands including Apple, HP and Lenovo. BT will help you to decide on the appropriate devices to include in your programme, which complement both your existing systems and your school's wider technology strategy.
This service is offered for a token fee of £50 which is payable by the school. This is our initial entry point for schools to begin an annual engagement with BT for BT ComputAbility at your school. The token fee initially charged is to cover the initial engagement process. Our understanding is that normally no further fees are payable by the school.

*Savings depend on the actual make and model of products selected and the comparative typical alterative high street price at the time of your programme’s launch. A full illustration will be provided.
