What to do before a pupil gets an iPad

Home School Agreement

All pupils at James Gillespie’s High School use a 1:1 iPad to aid their learning, as part of the City of Edinburgh Council’s Empowered Learning initiative.

All pupils joining JGHS need to complete the home school agreement before they get an iPad. An iPad cannot be issued until the agreement has been completed in full. If you have more than one child at JGHS, a separate agreement is needed for each child.

When Will the iPad Be Ready?

iPads are only set up once the pupil has started at school and a Scottish Candidate Number has been assigned, as it is needed to create the necessary accounts.

Once the iPad is ready, it will be left at reception for the pupil to pick up, and they will be notified.
