Digital Device Scheme Open

Please be aware that the next round of orders for the Digital Device Scheme offered by the College, and facilitated by Easy4U/CTS, is now open, and will close on Monday 17 October. 

The scheme is open to pupils in all year groups who wish to refresh or upgrade their current device, and in particular to all pupils in Year 7, who are expected to participate in the Digital Device Scheme. This is to ensure that all Year 7 pupils have the same, school-managed device, ready for use in January 2023. 

There are two options when using the scheme. The device and package can be purchased as either a one-off payment or via monthly payments with the rental option. 

The key points regarding the rental option are: 

  • One low monthly payment covers the rental of the device, the installation of school approved software, and ongoing service, support, and insurance 
  • At any point you can return the device to CTS/Easy4U and they will return your deposit - you are not tied in to a costly finance agreement 
  • As it is a rental scheme (not a lease agreement), there are no credit checks required
  • At the end of the rental period (36 months) you either give the device back to CTS and they return your deposit, or you keep the device and CTS keep the deposit 
  • To purchase or rent the device please simply click on the link below, enter the school code, select the relevant options, and complete the details and online payment.

Easy4U Online Portal

School Code: PRINCE1

For those pupils in receipt of bursaries, there is support available to help meet the cost of the scheme. If your child accesses a bursary and you would like to take advantage of this support, please email feessupport@princethorpe.co.uk for more information. Please ensure you email Fees Support before purchasing through the portal. We will then get back to you regarding how to order. 

Please note that the portal will close on Monday 18 October, so please be sure to make your purchase ahead of this time. 

All devices will be delivered to the school and distributed to pupils. We anticipate these will be available for pupils to collect in the second half of the Michaelmas term, but we will provide further details to parents once the delivery date is confirmed. 

We continue to be very excited by the continued enhancement of the learning experience for our pupils through this scheme and the use of digital devices in the classroom.
