Case study: technology for enablement and accessibility
Aldenham School recognised that without modernising and introducing new technologies, they risked getting left behind, leading to students who aren’t prepared for today’s technology-driven world.
Charlie Cochrane, Head of Technology at Aldenham School, comments on the partnership, “I think it’s had a dramatic impact on the day-to-day lives and the learning, which is ultimately what we’re here for.”
