• Congratulating Knowsley. Giving children
  access to computers at home has been shown to
  help their education. They can motivate pupils to
  learn and help develop key ICT and life skills.
  But it's not just the pupil who benefits. The
  whole family, school and wider community can
  benefit through increased involvement of parents
  in their child's education and better
  communication between the school and home.
