Ordering

Please note that ordering for students starting at Coombe in September 2024 will open in the summer.

Finance and Funding

We have invested heavily in our infrastructure and internet connection to make this level of IT provision possible.

We are asking for a contribution from parents to cover the cost of the device for your child.

We have worked with our suppliers to get the best possible pricing available.

Pupils who are currently receiving free school meals in Year 6 will receive the same device package free of charge. If you are unsure if you are eligible for free school meals or otherwise would struggle to afford the payments, please contact the school to discuss options.

Payment Options

We encourage parents to pay for the device upfront if possible, as it saves both the family and school money and administration. Please read below for further information on the ordering process and how to place your order.

Ordering Process

Please note: All orders are subject to the Chromebook Agreement.

Orders are placed through the Arbor Parent Portal. You should have been sent information about Arbor from the school, please contact them if you don't have access to Arbor.

Outright

If you are paying outright, simply purchase the 23/24 Chromebook - Outright Purchase item.

Monthly

If you wish to pay monthly, please purchase the 23/24 Chromebook - First Monthly Payment item as an initial deposit of £25.

After placing your order, you will receive an email with instructions to set up a standing order with your bank to pay the remaining 11 monthly payments of £25. If you do not keep up with payments, your child's Chromebook may be disabled.

Please ensure that you set up your standing order as soon as you receive the instructions after making the initial payment.

Free School Meals

If your child is eligible for Free School Meals at their current primary school, please contact us by emailing chromebooks@coombe.org.uk to confirm their eligibility. We will be able to provide your child with a Chromebook at no cost when they start Coombe in September, once we have validated this with your council. There is no need to contact the school further once you have notified us as you will receive a confirmation email from us.

If Arbor shows a cost other than £0.00, please do not place an order on Arbor, but contact the school office to inform them of your FSM status, using the email address shown above.
