LiveWest contacted Alternative Education Provider, Learning Partnership West Independent School to offer the laptops which will help bridge the educational gap created by lockdown.
With children now settled back into education following the easing of government restrictions, the laptops are being used to help the most vulnerable at the school.
The devices have made a huge difference to access their live learning via Google Classroom and Google Meet and a range of educational technology platforms, which are used by the school to supplement learning in the classroom.
Dan Carter Headteacher at Learning Partnership West school, said: “On behalf of pupils and staff at LPW Independent School, I would like to say a massive thank you to LiveWest for their generous donation.
“The laptops provide invaluable educational support for our students and will be primarily used to help and will help students to be much more flexible with their learning.
“Our focus is to provide the highest quality of education and to ensure all of our students from all backgrounds are empowered to succeed.
“The pandemic has had an impact on all of our lives, but the levels of generosity from organisations and people to help and support young people’s education is truly remarkable.”
LiveWest has supported families and children across the South West by donating more than 150 refurbished laptops and issuing £32,000 to schools to allow them to buy much-needed IT equipment.
In a move to narrow the social divide exposed by the pandemic, LiveWest has also helped more than 100 households get online through digital inclusion grants totalling more than £23,000.
Colette Tuckey Community Connector for LiveWest, said: “It was fantastic to be able to support the school with a donation of laptops.
“It is always heartening to hear how these are being used the benefits they bring.
“We play an active role in supporting all of our communities and we are thrilled to be able to provide equipment which will make a positive difference to the children’s education.”
