Craig D’Cunha, Chantry Academy principal, said the school identified pupils who did not have access to computers during the first lockdown to provide them with the necessary kit.
It is also rolling out a programme of purchasing a device for every single pupil – around 900 in total – which they will be able to use both in lessons and at home for learning and homework.
