Last month, the Trustees were approached by the Governors of The Aldgate School, the only state funded school in the City of London. They asked if we would donate to their recent appeal to fund a number of Chromebook laptops, to increase their stock of only 30 for a total of 210 pupils. Their campaign became more urgent with the closure of schools in January, and its obvious impact on pupils.
The Trustees decided to contribute £2,000 to the school's campaign which has been gratefully received; its timely arrival meant the school was able to order additional Chromebooks straight away, allowing disadvantaged children who would have been lock out of education over the coming weeks to be connected, participate in virtual learning, and stay connected to their friends.
