Bring Your Own Device (BYOD):
With this option, you would privately purchase a Chromebook device from an independent retailer. The school requires payment (currently £50) which pays for the licences and safeguarding software we install on devices. The device must be a Chromebook and we will not allow other devices (Windows laptops, iPads etc.) on our network. The school does not provide insurance or warranty for any privately purchased device and we recommend you arrange for this yourself.
Should you require any further assistance please contact enquiries@stphils.org.uk.

The licences and software
With each device we purchase licenses for:
- Google Management – this allows us to manage the Chromebook and make sure the apps and settings applied to it are suitable for educational use.
- Securly – this extension provides internet filtering while the device is used outside of the school to help ensure your daughter is safeguarded online.
- NetSupport DNA – this is another extension which enhances the internet safety of the device and monitors the device for inappropriate or harmful behaviour or content.
