How the Student 1:1 Device Scheme Works

The Student 1:1 Device Scheme gives schools the flexibility to select the right technology for their learners while reducing administrative and financial pressures.

1. Discovery & Demo – We begin with an initial consultation and online demonstration with Bluestone and Edutech to understand your school’s requirements and goals.

2. Customisation – Together, we identify the most suitable devices, accessories, and configuration packages to match your curriculum and IT strategy.

3. Parent Portal Launch – A dedicated, school-branded online portal is created, allowing parents to explore the scheme, sign up, and select their preferred payment option (monthly or one-off direct debit).

4. Delivery & Setup – Devices are delivered directly to the school, professionally configured, asset tagged and ready for handout.

5. Ongoing Support – Edutech manages everything from direct debit administration, warranty and insurance claims, and parent support, ensuring schools can focus on teaching and learning.
