In October Microsoft will stop supporting PCs running Windows 10. Our teachers use specific PCs to plan the lessons, research and prepare work for our wonderful pupils at Miles Coverdale.
In October 2025 Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10. Sadly, the PCs that our teachers use are not capable of running Windows 11 which means we have to replace them. If we can't replace them our school is at risk of cyber-attacks and security hacks. Our top priority continues to be keeping our children safe in school and this could be compromised once October arrives and our PCs are not protected.
Our school budget has been, and continues to be, challenging. While many schools are facing the same challenges as us - less money, more bills - we want to continue to offer the outstanding education that our children deserve.
We are hoping to raise enough money to buy at least three new PCs that are capable of running Windows 11. If we raise more than £1,200 we will replace some more of our older PCs to help us continue to work efficiently.
