Home Access - Free Computer & Internet Access For Eligible Families.

The Government recognise the benefits to students and their families of having access to ICT in the home to support learning. Research suggests access to technology in the home can lead to improved GCSE grades, with a student previously attaining a D grade being able to achieve a B grade with effective use of technology.

They have therefore provided funds to help parents buy a computer and Internet access for the home, in a scheme called HOME ACCESS.
