e-Learning Foundation - School Affiliation

School information

Information on Affiliation for schools

The e-Learning Foundation is an independent charity with a focus on ensuring disadvantaged children get the personal access to ICT they need, and eradicating the digital divide. Schools can play a significant role in this process, and the Foundation can offer a wide range of support services, grants and other benefits to schools to help them succeed. In return we ask that schools become affiliated to the e-Learning Foundation, pay a small annual affiliation fee, and sign up to the core values of the Foundation which are:

Equity of access: No child should be prevented from participating in an e-learning equity programme because of their financial circumstances.
Financial sustainabilty: Normally to be achieved through regular parental contributions, with additional grant support for schools serving disadvantaged communities.
Home use: Pupils must be allowed to use the resources at home, as and when they need it.

The e-Learning Foundation will continue to support schools already providing personal access to ICT for their students. And it is keen to help many more schools who recognise the potential impact that good access to technology can have on a young person's future.

An opportunity for Secondary Schools to affiliate on behalf of their feeder Primary Schools

Feedback from Secondary Schools suggests that some would be willing to contribute to the community dimension of their specialism by affiliating to the e-Learning Foundation as a cluster with their main feeder Primary Schools.

In this way your Primary Schools will be able to benefit in full from affiliation e.g. apply for a grant, access to our deals on laptop insurance and 3G dongles and attendance at e-learning conferences at discounted rates, without having to pay their own affiliation fee.

Due to the wide variance of feeder school numbers (one London Secondary school has 82 feeder schools!) we have applied a two-tier price structure.
