A delivery of laptops to Shefford s Robert Bloomfield Academy is set to level the playing field and help more pupils access remote learning during the current lockdown.
On Friday, February 5, the middle school - which is part of the Bedfordshire Schools Trust - received 25 Chromebooks as part of a county-wide initiative aimed at tackling the digital divide.
The programme was set up by the High Sheriff of Bedfordshire Susan Lousada after the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the issue of young people who live in ‘digital poverty’ – where they don’t have the equipment they need to learn from home.
