Ownership Without the Stress
Choosing a school device for your child should feel reassuring, not overwhelming. Parents want to know they’re making the right choice, that support is available when it’s needed, and that they can manage technology confidently at home.
Class Ready has been designed around exactly that experience. Built on Select’s Success with Apple Programme, Class Ready gives families a clear, supported way to own their child’s device, without the stress that often comes with school technology programmes.
A Simple, School-Approved Way to Own the Right Device
With Class Ready, parents don’t need to worry about specifications, compatibility, or whether a device will meet the school’s expectations.
Through a secure, school-branded Parent Portal, families are guided step by step through the purchasing process. The school defines the approved device and bundle, ensuring consistency across the year group, while parents benefit from clear information and education pricing.
The portal allows parents to:
- Review the school-approved iPad and accessory bundle
- Understand what’s included and why it has been selected
- Choose optional extras such as insurance or accessories (where offered)
- Pay upfront or spread the cost using flexible finance options
Everything is transparent and aligned, giving parents confidence that they’re investing in the right device from day one.
Unlimited Support That Fits Around Family Life
One of the biggest stress points for parents is knowing where to turn when something goes wrong. Class Ready removes that uncertainty.
Families receive unlimited access to expert support, with appointments available:
- By phone
- Via video call
- In-store
Whether it’s help setting up a new device, advice on apps and storage, or resolving a technical issue, support is always available, without limits or additional charges.
Since 2023, Select has supported over 45,000 end users, combining deep Apple expertise with a strong understanding of how school-managed devices work. When a question relates to school systems or device management, our teams can work directly with the school or managed service provider, reducing delays and frustration for families.
Helping Parents Stay in Control at Home
Ownership should come with confidence, not concern. Class Ready helps parents manage device use beyond the school gates.
Families are supported in using Apple’s built-in parental tools, including:
- Jamf Parent, enabling parents to manage approved restrictions outside school hours
- Screen Time on iPad, helping families set boundaries, manage app usage, and encourage healthy digital habits
Parents can also access training and guidance on key topics such as:
- Online safety and digital wellbeing
- Managing screen time and focus at home
- Supporting learning outside the classroom
This support is available online, in-store, or on school sites, ensuring families feel informed, supported, and in control.
