Dear Parent/Carer,

Re: Mobile Data Offers Update

To provide additional support for children to access their home learning, a number of providers are offering an increase in their mobile data allowance. The scheme is open to children who meet the following criteria:

• do not have access to a fixed broadband connection (the request may be unsuccessful if the account holder also has broadband)

• cannot afford the additional data needed to access educational resources

• have access to a mobile device that uses a participating network

• are facing disruption to their face-to-face education.

The mobile phone operators who have signed up to this scheme are:

EE Sky Mobile BT Mobile Three SMARTY

Full details of each mobile provider’s offer can be found at the bottom of the Home Learning section of the school website: http://www.cockburnschool.org/home-learning/

Requests can only be made by school and you would need to provide school with the following information:

• the name of the mobile phone account holder

• the number of the mobile device

• the mobile network of that device (for example Three).

If you meet the requirements outlined above and would like school to apply for an increased mobile data limit to enable your child to access their home learning please complete the Google form: https://forms.gle/MrcLS67FjPFFt9yB8

Once a network provider has completed a data increase, they’ll send a text message to the account holder.

Thank you again for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Mr R Dixon Head of School
