“Techs4Education has been invaluable in helping us to set up remote learning across the school.

What has really made a difference though, has been the rapid and professional support we have received whenever things have gone wrong, ensuring that problems are quickly solved. This support has enabled us to provide good quality remote learning for all our pupils, helped everyone stay in touch and increased the IT skills of all the staff.”
