Benefits of Specialist School IT Support

Outdated equipment and legacy software often contribute to a poor user experience for teachers, staff, and students, leading to unnecessary downtime, lesson disruption, and wasted resources.

We believe tomorrow’s classrooms should deliver digital learning without technical disruption to enhance the experience for pupils and teachers. Lessons rely on both dedicated teaching staff and the resources they have access to.

  • Reduced downtime and lesson disruption
  • Enhanced classroom experience
  • Less time spent on IT – we take care of everything
  • Full IT support when you need it
  • Cost-effective use of your IT budget

What our Education clients say about us 

Here is a selection of testimonials from our satisfied customers in the education sector.

It’s like having extra staff members at school. They are friendly, approachable and always ready to help. The team are experts and helped us develop a roadmap for upgrades and plan for the future. We envisage a long-term partnership.

Nicky Tregear | Wordsworth Primary School

The main benefit is not the new computers or more reliable IT infrastructure but the relationship we have with all their team. They work with us, have partnered with our departmental teams and value personal relationships that build trust.

Derek Peaple | Park House School

The classroom is becoming increasingly digitised and our systems couldn’t keep up. Servers were slow, networks got blocked and it seemed we were spending more time managing the computers than using them to learn. The new systems and software is fantastic but more important is the support we get.

Julie Greer | Cherbourg Primary School
