We’re delighted to have partnered with Edutech to offer a student 1:1 device scheme that will enable students to access the technology they need to enhance their education. Whether you're a school leader, a teacher, a parent, a college, or part of an academy trust, this scheme can help to remove barriers and unlock the benefits of digital learning for all students.

Edutech provide innovative, sustainable and cost-effective technology solutions that help to ensure equal access for all students, reduce administrative burdens for schools, and enable long-term digital transformation. By combining smart finance models with fully managed services, they help educators focus on what matters most, delivering better outcomes for very learner.  

Bluestone works with educational institutions and Edutech directly to provide them with finance solutions, enabling them to spread the initial cost of the devices over a period and at a fixed cost, avoiding large upfront capital outlays and reducing financial risk.  

“This is about giving every student an equal chance to succeed - we want to be able to provide educational institutions with the ability to use tech as a leveller, not a divider. Providing schools, academies and colleges with a finance option that enables them to spread the cost of the devices over time enhances their ability to deliver such a scheme whilst removing any large upfront capital outlay which might previously have been a barrier to them.”

Richard Tamlyn, Head of Sales and Marketing, Bluestone.
