To help keep all pupils safe, please ensure the school has up-to-date information about any allergies your child may have. Accurate allergy information enables us to put appropriate support plans in place, train staff effectively, and respond quickly in an emergency. We all have a part to play in creating a safe environment, including following our nut-aware policy and being mindful of the food brought into school. If your child has an allergy, please contact the school or update their details via Arbor. Be Allergy Aware and Save A Life - see more here.

subject overview

Chromebook and iPad provision

Chromebooks and iPads are embraced as a transformational tool for learning at Furzeham. All pupils benefit from the use of a device as a means of increasing engagement and promoting positive attitudes towards the safe use of technology in a creative manner.

We have over 70 iPads and iPad Minis to use across all key stages. Each KS1 and Early Years class has iPads to use. We also have over 200 Chromebooks in use so every child in KS2 have a device to use within school for blended learning and other curriculum activities.
