Secondary schools across Neath Port Talbot have received a donation of 130 laptops guaranteed to make a real difference to students both at home and in the classroom.

Nathan Lawrence, Head of IT at Ysgol Bro Dur in Port Talbot, explained how the 14 laptops they received will be put to good use:
“The pupils will be using these creatively both for design in Art and Media and for 3D and 2D design in Design Technology. We will also be using them for coding and other computing work to supplement the IT timetable.”

Other schools have similar plans. Ysgol Bae Baglan, will be using the laptops to support students who don’t have access to devices at home. Meanwhile, Ysgol Cwm Brombil will place theirs in the school hub, where students and families in need can access technology, food, and other essentials during tough times. 

The donation, worth £19,500, is a huge boost at a time when school budgets are under increasing pressure so we are proud to have played our part.
