King's Bruton donated Chromebooks to local primary schools.

Today, King’s donated 21 Chromebooks to Bruton Primary School and Upton Noble Primary School. Having contacted the Executive Headteacher, Mrs Rachael Bisset, she explained that they wanted to move to live lessons, and Chromebooks would allow this to happen. King’s originally purchased the 21 Chromebooks to support King’s pupils, but as everyone has their own device, the Chromebooks have become obsolete. It therefore made sense to offer them to Bruton and Upton Noble Primary Schools.
 
The Headmaster, Ian Wilmshurst stated:
I am delighted that King’s Bruton is able to donate 21 Chromebooks to Bruton Primary School today. I am grateful for the work the King’s IT Department has undertaken to prepare the Chromebooks for immediate use by the primary school children, and I know that all the devices will go to a good home and to good use during Lockdown and beyond."
 
Alex in our King's IT Department says:
"It’s absolutely fantastic to breathe new life into these devices and get them into the hands of pupils who need them, allowing them to continue with their education. Due to the flexibility of Google Suite for Education, we have been able to quickly and easily prepare these devices for use. We are proud to be able to support the local community, especially at this uncertain time."
 
Rachael, the Executive Headteacher messaged us saying:
"I cannot thank you all enough, I know that they will make such a difference to some of my pupils".
