Typical Use in Schools
Tablets (beyond iPads, which we list separately) encompass a range of Android and Windows-based devices widely used in UK schools. These include Samsung Galaxy Tab, Microsoft Surface, and various other Android devices.
Android tablets are a popular cost-effective alternative to iPads, particularly for schools that prefer the Android ecosystem or Google Workspace integration. Samsung Galaxy Tab education editions include school management features and are compatible with Samsung's Knox management platform.
Microsoft Surface devices bridge the gap between tablet and laptop, offering touchscreen flexibility with the full Windows operating system and keyboard/stylus accessories. They are popular in secondary schools and colleges for GCSE and A-Level students who need the productivity of a full OS with the portability of a tablet.
Windows tablets are also commonly used in vocational settings — particularly construction, engineering and health and social care — where students may need access to specific Windows-based software alongside a portable form factor.
Why Lease Tablets Rather Than Buy?
Tablets at scale represent significant capital outlay — leasing converts this to predictable monthly revenue costs.
The tablet market evolves quickly; leasing ensures you can refresh to current technology without capital expenditure at the end of each term.
Mixed-platform environments (Android + iPads + Windows) can all be managed under a single lease agreement with us.
MDM enrolment and initial configuration can be included, simplifying deployment.
Volume discounts available for large deployments — our supplier relationships mean better pricing than direct purchase in many cases.
Operating lease treatment keeps tablets off your balance sheet, compliant with DfE and ESFA guidance.
Everything in Your Lease Package
One agreement. One point of contact. Everything needed to get your tablets up and running — included as standard.
The Equipment
Supply of new, manufacturer-fresh devices. Specified to your curriculum and technical requirements — full range of configurations available.
Delivery & Setup
Direct delivery to your school. Devices can be pre-configured to your MDM or imaging specification before they arrive.
Extended Warranties
Available as upgrades for most manufacturers, giving on-site support and extended cover beyond the standard warranty period.
End-of-Lease Return
At the end of your term, devices are typically swapped for new ones under a fresh agreement — or ownership can be taken on a finance lease. Data destruction certificates are provided for all returned devices as standard.
DfE-Compliant Lease
Available as an operating lease or a finance lease — both structured to meet DfE guidance for maintained schools and ESFA requirements for academy trusts.
Single Point of Contact
Unlike most leasing arrangements, we are both the finance company and the equipment supplier — which means one account manager, one agreement, and genuine accountability throughout the term. No brokers, no third parties, no passing the buck.
Fully Compliant Leasing
Tablet leases are structured as operating leases in line with DfE guidance for maintained schools and ESFA guidance for academies. We can lease tablets from multiple manufacturers under a single agreement if needed. All leases include end-of-lease collection and responsible device disposal or data destruction certification.
