Alex Rees has asked me to pass on the following link
http://redbridgeictsubjectleaders.blogspot.com/2010/02/home-access-grant-latest-information-03.html
This will take you to a one page updated summary of information re applying for a home computer.
Alex clearly helps with information about the evidence you need to show etc.
He reports that Becta confirm there have been slow application rate - so if you have any students who you think may apply for a home computer - take a look at this link it will confirm if they are eligable, application process and how to apply.
