May Newsletter
Welcome to the Funding 4 Education newsletter which gives schools and suppliers an opportunity to catch up on the latest leasing news and see what schools are leasing at the moment.
Can we lease... robotic cleaning machines?
With budgets getting tighter, schools are exploring different ways they can innovate to overcome restrictions and increased costs. Here’s how one school transformed their cleaning resources by leasing a robotic cleaning machine and mini robotic vacuum cleaners…
Where did you discover the robotic cleaning machine?
We worked with a cleaning consultant who recommended the machine as we were struggling to recruit cleaning staff due to our location.
What were the reasons for investing in a robotic cleaning machine?
Investing in the robotic machine enabled us to fulfil our hygiene requirements without having to worry about recruitment. One other thing it resolved was staff absences which normally results in areas of the school not being cleaned. The machine supplements our cleaning resources in school.
Why did you choose to lease the robotic cleaning machine?
Leasing makes it easier for us to budget. It allows us to free up resources for other priorities in school which are teaching and learning. It’s an obvious choice because when the equipment gets to the end of its shelf life, we simply upgrade to new equipment. Funding 4 Education also offer flexible options at the end.
How did you find the leasing process with F4E?
Fab! No problems at all. The process is very simple and straightforward.

Department focus... Catering equipment
Science is an important core subject for schools and practical lessons are a huge part of this. However in order for all students to be able to partake in experiments, your school needs the equipment and environment to do so. What leaner wouldn’t find a passion for science in a newly refurbished lab and using the most modern tools and apparatus? Here are just few examples of the science equipment schools lease through us:

Top 10 emerging trends in education technology
Technology is developing at an unbelievable pace and its use within the education sector is increasing too. It has transformed the way that staff, students and parents interact with one another and lessons have been adapted to use technology and make them more engaging. 3 of the top 10 trends include tablets and 2-in-1 devices, Chromebooks and notebooks/laptops which are all IT devices used by students to complete their everyday work.
Most schools have interactive touchscreens installed in their classroom which have replaced traditional projectors and whiteboards. Some schools have also incorporated virtual reality headsets to make lessons more interactive.
Other technology which is becoming increasingly popular within the education sector includes robotics kits, digital pens and styluses, wearable technology, 3D printers and biometric devices.
