Universal Home Access

The Lambeth e-Learning Foundation [LeLF] is focusing on helping to ensure the widest possible take-up of this scheme.

The scheme will launch in January and schools may choose to offer an aggregated purchase to parents. This means the school will buy the equipment and distribute it to parents. Schools can also choose to widen the offer to parents not included in the government programme but would need to provide funding from a mixture of parents' contributions and grants.

For more information, whether you are working in a school or a parent, visit the government website run by BECTA.

Schools can get grants to subsidise the cost of providing computer equipment to those not on Free School Meals (but where household income is low). Please email chris@lelf.org.uk for more information

Grants Available

Currently the national e-Learning Foundation has money available for Individual Support Grants. These are cash grants paid to the school to subsidise the cost of providing a device (e.g. a Netbook mobile) and if required a 3G Internet dongle to families not on FSM but not well off (net household income less than £27k). The school is required to confirm that this is the case to the best of their knowledge, although proof is not required.

The level of funding will not be greater than 35% average of the cost of the package. The family is required to pay the balance. The only secure way for this is to require families to pay their contribution in advance once the grant is approved.

The application form can be downloaded here and should be emailed to chris@lelf.org.uk when completed
