For education
Do more with less, secure your school, and improve teaching and learning
Your school needs technology that works reliably, staff who can actually use it, and a partner who understands that a failed migration is a catastrophe.
Why schools and trusts need a different kind of technology partner
Education isn’t just another sector – it has its own rhythms, pressures, and compliance demands that generic IT providers consistently get wrong. Your technology partner needs to understand term-time realities, not just server specifications.
Budgets are shrinking but expectations aren't
You’re expected to deliver more with less every year, and technology spending is under constant scrutiny from governors and trustees.
Staff resistance is the silent killer of IT investment
Teachers pushed onto unfamiliar tools without proper training will default to old habits – and your expensive Microsoft 365 subscription collects dust.
Safeguarding and compliance can't slip through the cracks
DfE requirements, Ofsted expectations, and data protection obligations demand a security posture you can evidence – not just hope for.
Fragmented systems are holding you back
Newly joined schools on different platforms, inconsistent setups, and siloed data create inefficiency that compounds with every acquisition.

Frequently asked questions
Choosing a technology partner for your trust is a significant decision. Here are the questions we hear most from school leaders and IT directors.
Can you work around our academic calendar?
It’s non-negotiable for us. We never schedule disruptive work during exam periods, and we plan migrations and major changes around term dates and INSET days. Our founder was a teacher – we know SATs week isn’t the time for a system change.
We're a Google school - can you help us move to Microsoft?
Yes. We’ve migrated a 45,000-user university from Google to Microsoft 365 and have supported numerous trusts through the same transition. We handle the full journey, including data migration, training, and adoption support, to make the switch as smooth as possible.
How do you handle trusts with schools on different systems?
That’s one of the most common challenges we solve. We consolidate fragmented environments onto a single, unified Microsoft 365 platform – bringing consistency, central management, and trust-wide visibility regardless of how many schools you have or what they were running before.
What makes you different from the other IT Services Providers at BETT?
We hold a Microsoft competency only few UK education partners have, our founder comes from the classroom, and we focus on training and adoption rather than just infrastructure. Most providers migrate you and move on – we stay and make sure your staff are confident with their tools.
