Could anyone recommend a laptop which would work and not break the bank please.

Perhaps a bit out there but an iPad and the keyboard + the MS Apps might do the trick and be a bit more robust / easier to use than a laptop? A cursory glance at Apple.com looks like you can get a 10.2" + the keyboard for £500. Then you get a subscription to MS Office 365 which includes Word, Excel etc.

Also easier to lock the fuck down and prevent dark shit

The App versions of Office are a bit shit though. If you're going that route you may as well get a Chromebook that's cheaper and designed for keyboard/mouse and run the Android app.

In what sense? I've only used them for a bit and they seemed OK, like what you'd expect on a tablet device. Bad enough to make a 13yr old's life difficult?
