Schools receive grants to test if iPads and texting can improve results

Schools are set to test the impact of technologies, such as iPads and texting, on pupil attainment after the Education Endowment Foundation and Nominet Trust announced seven programmes for disadvantaged pupils and a £3.5 million grant.

18,000 pupils in 260 schools across England are set to benefit from the funding, testing a variety of ways to use technology in learning.
