School Information
Affiliation benefits for Schools
Expert advice and support
Your School Liaison Manager will help you plan, implement and maintain a successful e-learning programme. They will alert you when grants are available, and when we have access to other offers e.g. solutions for Internet access at home. They will help you present your case to your parents, persuade your Board of Governors and help you write a persuasive grant application.
Grants
Only affiliated schools are eligible to apply for a grant from the e-Leanring Foundation. The next grants round will be posed on this website, and affiliated schools will be automatically notified, when funds become available.
Use of special logo
Affiliation carries the right to use the e-Learning Affiliated School logo on school stationery, and will be sent to you on receipt of your affiliation fee.
Fundraising helpline
Our Fundraising Manager will help you develop local fundraising opportunities.
Donation Management Service
The Donation Management Service takes away the administration burden of collecting regular parental donations for schools. In most cases the school pays nothing for the service, as the e-Learning Foundation uses the Gift Aid it can claim from the Inland Revenue to cover the costs. The service can collect donations by direct debit, credit and debit cards, one off cheques and cash using the PayPoint network. A web portal gives ready access to the information you need on your current and lapsed donors.
Discounted e-Learning Foundation conference rates
Affiliated schools benefit from two discounted places at each event.
Publicity for your school
Schools that address the challenge of the digital divide should be recognised for their achievements. Our PR team will ensure you are recognised for your work through case studies, nomination for awards and inclusion in media articles.
Digital Links to Africa
Through our partnership with Digital Links your unwanted computers can be refurbished and sent to schools in Africa. And your school can then create links with a school in Africa.
