Dear Parent/Carer,
Following our letter on 16 June 2025, I’m writing today with the personalised link to sign up for our updated Chromebook scheme for students entering Year 7 in September 2025
The monthly contribution for the Chromebook scheme is:
- £5.99/month (or £3.99 for families eligible for Pupil Premium).
This contribution covers:
- Repair and warranty service for 36 months (the 3-year lifespan of the device in Key Stage 3).
- Google Chrome licence and setup.
- Safeguarding software and monitoring.
Upon completing Year 9, students will be able to keep their device rather than returning it to the academy.
Please find the link to sign up for the device: https://portal.devicesondemand.co.uk/invite/leigh-academy-strood-year-7
We understand that affordability is important for many families, which is why we’ve worked hard to keep this scheme among the most cost-effective in the country. If you anticipate any difficulties with payments, please contact Julie Tingley via julie.tingley@stroodacademy.org.
During our Transition Day on Thursday 3 July 2025, representatives from Freedom Tech will be on hand to support any further queries and questions you may have.
Thank you for your continued support and your understanding of these important changes.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Jon Richardson | Principal
