Bluestone Leasing is delighted to introduce our industry-leading student laptop scheme Access Anytime

Extending the classroom into the home enriches the learning experience and positively affects the wider family unit with academic and social benefits for all involved.

One-to-one access to technology transforms the way in which children learn in classrooms and will extend learning beyond the confines of the school day and the school building. It will undoubtedly have a significant effect upon standards of achievement, and will also contribute to the creation of a technologically literate workforce in the next generation.

The Access Anytime programme from Bluestone Leasing provides a step-by-step guide to help schools deliver the right message to teaching staff, parents and the students themselves, whilst providing competitive and inventive rental solutions to meet any requirement.

Whether or not you have existing schemes running or are looking to set up your first one, we have the experts on hand to talk you through all aspects that you need to consider including:-

Equity & Non-Equity Schemes

Choosing the right scheme for you is the most important decision of all. Equity schemes significantly benefit by attracting Gift Aid but must fulfil strict criteria including equity across all students in the chosen group, home access and parental contributions must be donation based.

Non-equity schemes allow you to be more selective in all aspects of the criteria but do not qualify for Gift Aid.

Parental Contributions

We guide you through how contributions from parents can transform the reach of your ICT provision well beyond the scope of your standard budget constraints and what form the payments need to make.

Donation & Collection Management

Although most schools/colleges will decide not to manage collection of payments directly, whatever your choice we will structure a programme to suit your needs outsourced via Bluestone or not.

Grant & Funding Support

Bluestone Leasing are official partners to the E-Learning Foundation and, for Equity Schemes, we can provide you with access to their grant funding which can be used to support your proposed scheme for qualifying schools/colleges.

Specialist Insurances

Most standard insurance in schools and colleges is unsuitable for covering Access Anytime schemes. Bluestone Leasing provide access to specialist insurance including zero excess and cover for equipment left unsecured. There is also an option for GAP insurance cover to further protect the schemes.

Support & Consultancy

With significant experience of how to best implement a successful scheme, our team will support you will every aspect of the process. This includes ensuring that you are able to gain support from all stakeholders (SMT, parents and students), help with setting a timetable and making sure that you avoid any pitfalls along the way.
