When IT works, the work keeps moving
How IT support for schools keeps staff connected
School IT has to work across classrooms, offices, shared spaces and home working. A useful support partner looks at how those pieces connect and communicates with staff in terms that make sense.
Staff and admin devices
We support agreed computers, laptops, shared workstations, printers, user profiles, updates and the devices used by teaching and administration teams.
Accounts and cloud services
Help with agreed user accounts, secure sign-in, email, calendars, shared access and cloud services across the school environment.
Networks and Wi-Fi
Practical support for business Wi-Fi, network equipment and reliable connections across classrooms, offices and shared spaces.
Joiners, leavers and role changes
An agreed process for accounts, devices, licences and permissions helps staff changes stay consistent across the school year.
A connected business environment
IT support for schools: cloud, server and NAS support
Some schools use mainly cloud services; others rely on local servers, NAS storage or a hybrid environment. We support the agreed setup as a connected whole.
Staff and Admin Devices
Setup, updates, troubleshooting and lifecycle planning for agreed computers, shared workstations, printers, profiles and business devices.
Cloud, Server and NAS Services
Support for agreed cloud services, on-premises servers, NAS devices, permissions, storage and shared access.
Networks and Wi-Fi
Practical help with network equipment, business Wi-Fi, secure access and reliable connections across the agreed environment.
Backup and Recovery
A clear view of what school information and systems are protected, where backups are held and how recovery would be approached.
Specialist coordination
Coordinate education software suppliers
Schools depend on MIS, safeguarding, filtering, finance, curriculum and communication platforms supported by specialist vendors. We can investigate the device, account, installation, permissions, browser, server, network and connection, then work with the product supplier using useful evidence.
Secure foundations
Strengthen secure foundations for school IT
Schools need secure accounts, dependable devices, patching, connectivity and recoverable information. We strengthen the technology with secure access, multi-factor authentication, patching, endpoint protection and dependable backups, helping keep systems and sensitive information protected.
