eLearning scheme Our goal is for students to use ICT in the academy as they would in the outside world. Students have personalised access to homework, curriculum resources, past exam papers, mark schemes, , school calendar, behaviour events, etc. They access this through a mobile device provided as part of the scheme. The eLearning scheme is funded through a partnership between parents and the Academy. No child is excluded because of their financial circumstances. Parents are asked to make a voluntary contribution to the scheme over 18 months, without your support the scheme cannot run.
