At Sutton High School, we want our girls to be real world ready. Our Bring Your Own Device to School scheme ensures that all girls are able to access technology to enhance their learning.
2026/2027
At Sutton High School, technology plays an important role in teaching and learning. We believe that technology enhances learning by supporting creativity, collaboration, organisation and accessibility, while helping pupils develop the digital skills they need for the future.
From the earliest years in Prep through to Sixth Form, pupils use technology to access resources, collaborate with others, develop digital literacy skills and support independent learning both in school and at home.
Prep School
In the Prep School, pupils have access to a range of age-appropriate devices and digital learning tools to support their learning across the curriculum. Technology is used to enhance teaching and learning, encourage creativity and develop confidence with digital tools in a safe and supportive environment.
Senior School Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
As pupils move into Senior School, they are expected to bring their own device to support learning within our Microsoft-based digital environment.
To ensure compatibility with school systems and enable effective technical support, pupils should use a Windows touchscreen laptop from the school’s approved device range.
The school reviews approved devices and minimum specifications regularly to ensure that they remain appropriate for teaching and learning needs and continue to meet the requirements of our digital learning environment.
