iPad repair terms & conditions

Students in the school iPad Scheme must submit their iPads for repair through the Student Services so the iPad can repaired by an approved repairer. This is not a new-for-old replacement scheme. Should an iPad be uneconomical to repair or need replacing a similar or older used model will be issued.

The iPad must not be repaired through a third party, be removed from its protective case, be subjected to deliberate damage/vandalism or wilful neglect, or exceed the allowed number of repairs in any one scheme (see below).

Failure to adhere to these rules will mean that the student will be asked to leave the iPad scheme immediately and they will be issued with a Leave@School iPad, on loan.

Leave at School iPads are provided on loan. They are collected/Returned each school day from a designated collection point in school.  They are not allowed home. Leave at School status can be lifted once a student has gone 12 months damage-free and where there is no iPad money owed to school.

The following repairs are covered under our Repair Service for school iPads only:
