iPad consent forms

Students are required to have a completed iPad consent form held on their school record in order to use an iPad in school. Please complete the consent form below after which an appointment can be issued to collect an iPad.

This is a generic consent form that covers the use of all types of iPad at school – scheme, loan and personal devices. Please note that only students in Sixth Form (Years 12 and 13) are allowed to provide a personal device in school.

• I will not give my home address or telephone number, or arrange to meet someone, unless my parent/carer or teacher has given permission
• I will report any unpleasant material/messages sent to me.

For those students issued with Scheme iPads:

I am aware that the iPad remains the property of the school until it is offered for sale in Year 10, in Year 11 (if I do not progress up to Sixth Form) or at the end of Year 13. I know I will need to pay a sum of money to the school to keep it. I also recognise that if I leave, at any other time, the iPad must be returned to school. I know I cannot buy it.

For those students issued with Loan iPads:

I am aware the iPad has been loaned to me and must be returned to school on leaving or joining a school iPad scheme. It is not available for sale.
