Refreshing the equipment children use at playtime, replacing items that wear out through everyday use.
Additional iPads
£10,000 estimated
Supporting the computing curriculum with more devices that work with the school's existing iPads and IT support.

Additional suits in sizes for adults and older children will help extend beekeeping activities to KS2 pupils.
