my kids have older iPad that’s not compatible with the web browsers that they are you for school since the virus hit. So I need to know which iPads had OS 10.3 or higher?
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
The iPad 4, second generation iPad mini, and any newer model can run iOS 10.3 or newer. Individual units may need to be updated from a computer or through the Software Update function.

What exact models of iPads do your kids have? What iOS versions are they running?
Are they not updateable to a newer iOS version?
See here: Identify your iPad model - Apple Support
and here for a full list of iPads, year released, year discontinued, and max iOS version they currently support: Complete List of iPads, release year and … - Apple Community
Forget iOS 10.
These old iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen iPad Mini models are nearing 8 and 9-years old, now.
As of the beginning of 2019, many, MANY third party app developers are all more quickly and completely dropping older app support for all old 7, 8 and 9-year iPads that are running 2-3 year old and earlier iOS versions ( iOS 10 and earlier ).
Third party app developers are removing all of their older, legacy versions of their apps from Apple's App Store servers, now.
Older versions of apps are going to be gone for good, now!
Getting older versions of apps for these old iPad models, initially from Apple’s iOS App Store is getting very difficult and very problematic and this issue is getting, painfully, much worse in 2020, now!
These old iPads are now reaching their complete end of life and support.
Old iPads that can no longer be upgraded/updated will have NO MORE APPS AVAILABLE for initial download, at all, soon, from the Apple iOS App Store, for such old iOS devices in the very near future.
Older versions of apps for older iPads will be completely gone, very soon!
So, this is really now the time to seriously consider a new or discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple or other Apple authorised resellers.
A lot has happened with iPad and iOS in 7-9 years and in the past 2 to 3-1/2 years since iOS 9 and 10.
The 2019, 10.2 inch screen 7th gen iPads have a 1/2 inch larger retina screen, much faster and newer 2.3 Ghz, A10 Fusion processors, AT LEAST, 3-4 times the internal RAM, with the 2019, 7th gen iPad having 3 GBs of internal RAM, iPadOS 13 support, with much better and improved multitasking features, Apple Pencil and Apple Smart keyboard cover support and have better audio speakers and better/improved built-in cameras.
Amazon, itself, currently sells new, sealed in box, Apple's base model 2019, 7th gen, 10.2 inch screen, WiFi ONLY 32 and 128 GBs iPad models selling for $279 and $359, respectively, through its own direct sales distribution.
This is a $50-$70 savings from Apple's own pricing of these iPad models.
Amazon will also provide for purchase of extended, AppleCare+ product warranty protection plan, also.
Amazon, itself, also, sells slightly used or damaged electronics, like Apple iPads/iPhones of any year and model for even further discount/savings.
These slightly damaged ( sometimes only damaged packaging and not always the actual device ) devices will NOT have any damage that will affect the device’s normal operation.
In addition, Amazon has its own warranty plan for covering electronics devices that are new, used or slightly damaged.
Amazon, itself, also, sell other current, newest Apple iPad models at a substantial discount, as well!
New 2019 iPad Air 3.
Amazon has slightly used or refurbished iPads cheaper than new.
You can purchase a 6-year old, refurbished iPad Air 2 from Amazon for slightly over $200 U.S.D.
The 64 GBs, WiFi only model for $209.
Same refurbed iPad Air 2 model in 128 GBs for $213.
All Amazon refurbished, “renewed” products are all eligible for Amazon's own 2 or 4-year warranty plans.
iPad Air 2 models can run the current iPad OS 13.4.
Also from Amazon.
A 3-year old, Apple 2017, 5th gen. iPad 9.7" inch screen, WiFi ONLY, 32GB- Space Gray (2017 Model) (Renewed) $250 U.S.D.
Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
Here are a few third party web browsers that I know are STILL being updated and supported on iOS 10 and earlier
Available and more popular third party Web browser choices are dwindling faster, now.
There are still a handful of iOS 10 and earlier supported third party Web browsers.
Most of these have had recent updates, too!
Here’s what’s left.
iCab Mobile Web browser
Aloha Web browser
ALook Web browwer
Dolphin Web browser
DuckDuckGo Private Web browser
Snow Bunny Web browser
Maxthon Web browser
Private Browsing Web browser by Savvy Soda

Apps for iOS 10 are also being removed by developers at s much faster rate/pace, now!
All iOS 9 and 10 supported apps are being permanently removed by develooers and Apple for good, now.
So soon, no more support, at all, for any iOS devices running iOS 9 or 10.
There has been a serious drop in iOS 10 app updates on my iPad Pro still running iOS 10.3.3.
Hence considering having to finally upgrade my iPad Pro to iPadOS 13 or 14 down the road.
A lot would depend on what you can afford. The newer iPads can support the latest iOS. What browsers are the schools asking for?
Which iPads had OS 10.3 or higher?
