Bloxham Laptop Scheme

New pupils joining Bloxham will receive a school laptop, which will be charged for at a cost of between £90 and £150 per term. At the end of Fifth Form, the laptop will be owned by you. This is a scheme put in place to offer our students a higher specification laptop ideally suited for both classroom and remote learning. A warranty is also included and offers peace of mind for accidental damage.

Information will be given regarding the laptop scheme on joining Bloxham.


Sixth Form Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Laptop Scheme

Students joining our Sixth Form will require their own device, which can be connected to the Bloxham School network, to aid their studies.

Please ensure that the device meets the minimum specification below in order to meet the correct security levels that are in place when connecting to the Bloxham network. Unfortunately, if your device does not meet the recommended standards, you will not be able to connect. We recommend Windows 10 devices (or above) as some teaching resources will be only available on the Windows 10 store. We will support Apple Mac devices, but advise that these devices may be restricted.

To allow your device to connect to the Bloxham School network you must install anti-virus and Bloxham school network management software. Without this software installed, you will not be allowed on the network.
