"The internet was supposed to be the great leveller. Instead, it’s now the great divider.”
Head teacher Paul Urry has spent months campaigning for devices for children at his primary school, in one of the most deprived parts of Bradford.
Since the first lockdown in Spring, Paul made it his mission to eradicate digital poverty and started an 'internet4all' campaign to raise thousands of pounds to provide devices for his students.
But he’s received just six new laptops from the government. He has 450 pupils.
