Urgent appeal to help children with tech for online lessons

An urgent Laptop Appeal has been launched by the Rotary Club of Sherborne Castles to give disadvantaged primary school pupils a computer to fully access remote learning in lockdown.

Sherborne Primary School has distributed a significant number of devices but headteacher Ian Bartle says about 40 more are needed for his school alone.

Mr Bartle said: “Many of the families at our school do not have computers or tablets. The children are therefore unable to engage with the school’s provision for learning at home.”

The Sherborne Area Primary Schools Laptop Appeal is raising funds so schools can purchase additional laptops – a laptop can be purchased for less than £200, so any amount of funds raised will make a difference.

The appeal will benefit all children in Sherborne, Buckland Newton, Shillingstone, Yetminster, Bradford Abbas, Thornford, Gillingham and others.
