The Impact
Coombe Academy Trust has been using Chromebooks over the last 7 years to greatly enhance the availability and access to IT resources in every lesson, with over 3,000 devices already in use by our sudents and teachers across the Trust.
As of September 2024, both Coombe Boys' School & Coombe Girls' School will be fully 1:1, meaning all students have their own Chromebook.
We are also proud that our primary schools also heavily use Chromebooks with their students and staff.
Skills Developed
Across the board, students report increased confidence in typing, computing and digital literacy.
