Harton Academy, selected as the winner of LocknCharge's £5,000 tech‑makeover campaign, chose to upgrade with three core solutions: the FUYL Smart Locker, Putnam 16 Charging Station, and two iQ 10 Charging Stations. These tools support four forward-looking use cases to enhance iPad access across the campus.
FUYL Smart Locker
Installed in the library, the 15-bay FUYL Smart Locker is divided into two zones:
-
Pre-loaded device bays: 7–8 slots hold ready-to-use devices dispensed via 4-digit PINs.
-
Empty slots: For students to securely store and charge personal or school-issued devices during the day.
Why it’s game-changing:
-
Automated device issuance reduces IT bottlenecks.
-
Secure, self-service access encourages student independence.
-
Real-time logging ensures accountability.
Putnam 16 Charging Station
Located in the music department, this solution replaced insecure overnight charging on keyboards and is now used to:
-
Securely store iPads used by music students.
-
Remove security risks with lockable bays instead of exposed overnight charging.
Why it's game-changing:
-
Enhances device safety in shared specialist spaces.
-
Enables clean, organised charging during non-operational hours.
iQ10 Charging Stations
One placed in the PE department for secure device charging during off-class periods, and another within the Learning Resource Area for students needing additional support.
Why they matter:
-
Distributes charging solutions to diverse environments across the school.
-
Ensures devices are ready for staff and vulnerable learners when needed.
