Laptops for students

Laptops For Students

In the UK parents invest millions per year in technologies for the household. Most families have a computer and internet access, so why rent or buy school sponsored equipment? Since COVID19 remote learning has become a necessity, requiring students to access classes when at home.

Our Laptops for Students programme can be the solution for many schools who struggle to afford new equipment. It has the benefit of bridging the home school divide, in which the students’ use of computers at home is monitored and valuable out of school hours learning opportunities are not lost.

The essence of the scheme is to make available an option whereby parents contribute to the cost of the acquisition, benefiting from the economies of scale or bulk purchase and education based pricing.

Why use Axis?

The team at Axis is highly experienced in the education sector, having worked with schools since the late 1980’s right up to the present day. We try to keep everything as simple as possible and for this purpose have broken the Laptops for Students scheme into separate sections for ease of use.

We work with a few dedicated education partners – including Maxxia Ltd and CPU Group – to bring together a programme that facilitates learning from home with a parental contribution scheme that is collected by CPU on your behalf.

Remote Learning via a Parental Contribution Scheme

We understand that students need consistent access to the latest IT equipment but also recognise the challenges in education IT budgets. Add to this the urgent need to accommodate teaching remotely, sometimes with little notice, then access to mobile devices is becoming a necessary part of school life.

We have developed a parental contribution scheme that can help you react quickly to the ever-changing situation caused by COVID19.

The Benefits?

It takes the pressure off schools should they be forced to close suddenly.

Gives students access to the latest technology.
A dedicated parent portal system.
Assistance with choosing a supplier (we do not receive any monetary benefits from suppliers and we do not recommend any technology. We will point you in the direction of suppliers who are dedicated to the education sector).

FAQ

How long is the lease agreement for?

Anything between 12 and 36 months. The most common term is for 24 months.

How much do parents contribute?

This is between the school and the parent. You may want to encourage a contribution to cover the whole of the rental agreement. Alternately, you may wish to ask, for example, a contribution of 50% of the rental.

What happens if a parent doesn’t / cannot pay?

The device must be returned to the school. You may well then allow the student to use the device in school only. Please note, the lease rental agreement is a contract between the school and the funder and, therefore, the school must continue to pay the outstanding rentals.

Can Warranty and Cases be included?

Yes

Can a parent pay cash rather than a monthly contribution?

Yes. There is an option to pay outright via the portal and one single payment can be made.

What happens at the end of the agreement?

The schools will have the opportunity to continue renting the assets indefinitely for a reduced annual fee as per the Operating Lease conditions. Alternately, the equipment can be upgraded or returned. The parents can be given the option to retain the equipment if the school chooses to go down this route.

What does the insurance cover?

Accidental Damage and Theft. A copy of the policy wording can be provided on request.

“Bancroft's School have used Axis Leasing since 2009. They have always handled the "middle man" part of the leasing process (between ourselves and the preferred competitive broker) impeccably. We are always kept up to date with the progress of the leasing lifecycle, from initial discussions, through to final sign off after successful installations, and with diligent after care support. The team at Axis is always attentive to our needs, communication is always timely, and they have consistently been a pleasure to deal with. I envisage using Axis for many years to come. ”

Daniel Siggins - IT Manager

Axis leasing has provided us with no-nonsense advice and financing we can rely on. What can be a complicated and often treacherous task is made simple, easy and secure. Our account handlers are always on hand if we need them but aren’t constantly pushing for business. Exactly how we like it! They understand the needs of an educational establishment; which isn’t always the case. Not sure why we would go anywhere else.

We were recommended Axis leasing in relation to a relatively straightforward leasing requirement for our new showroom. In the end we used them for some more complex requirements. We found them to be very helpful and professional and moreover they met our requirements at a very competitive cost. I could not recommend them more highly

We have been using Axis Leasing for our business funding since 2014. No asset type appears to be a problem. They have funded software licences, IT equipment and even surveying equipment imported from Sweden. In all cases the paperwork is straight forward and the process is so simple. We would recommend them to any company.
