More for less - new narrative
1. Investing in technology saves school budgets
Cost savings through paperless - savings on: paper,
photocopying, communications, free learning content such as
textbooks
Savings through different technology choices:
- no laptop trolleys & IT suites
- no calculators, recording equipment, cameras, atlasses,
globes & timetables
- potentially cheaper use of space
- parents pay for device, content & recharging of personal
devices
More for less - new narrative

more performance data on pupils allows more personalised
teaching;
-
shared teaching resources and user generated text books keeps
