Laptop for school work / games

Hi all, looking for advice on a laptop to buy my 11 year old - first year secondary, and probably needs her own one now for schoolwork instead of using mine or my partners'. It will be her xmas present this year.
I've been a Mac user for years due to my line of work (design/marketing), so I'm a bit of out touch with the PC world. I've read and heard good things about chromebooks, and will probably go down that route - seems a lot of my friends/parents have bought them for their kids. But what sort of model should I go for that can also play games - Roblox/Minecraft, and doesn't cost hundreds and hundreds of pounds?
Any advice welcome. Many thanks
