Dear Parents,
Parents must contact this number to receive an application form 0333 200 1004
Free Computers for many families
As I mentioned before if your child is in years 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,and 9 and they receive free school meals you can apply to get a computer for your family as part of a Government scheme.
Families will be able to apply for a pre-paid Visa card which they will be able to spend on an approved computer and internet connection, including a year’s service and support, parental controls and anti-virus software.
Eligible parents need to contact the Home Access Grant helpline on 0333 200 1004 (not the phone number listed in the article in The News) to receive an application form. Eligibility criteria are on the Home Access website (http://www.homeaccess.org.uk/). If successful, parents receive a pre-paid credit card which they can use to purchase a computer and / or Broadband from a range of suppliers. When parents receive their machine they can ring the Adult College on 0208 270 4722 to enquire about free training
Yours sincerely
Mrs A. Lipski
Head Teacher
