It support for colleges
Several campuses, one network, and nowhere for it to drop.
Engineers based on your campus that don’t just treat you like a number. We look after the connectivity and security underneath, and we tell you what’s coming before you need to ask.
WHAT COLLEGES TELL US
Students arrive expecting it to work like everything else in their lives.
They’ve used AI since school. They expect wi-fi to follow them between buildings, a lab machine to log in quickly, and print to work first time.
When it doesn’t, it’s your team hearing about it on every campus at once.
When something has to be locked down, it’s your team explaining why access got harder.
And you’re expected to have a position on cyber, on AI, on whatever’s next, short of the specialists rather than short of the people.
That’s the part we take off you.
What that looks like in practice
Not what we promise. What you can hold us to.
01
The same faces, every visit.
Enhanced DBS checked and familiar with your college, they get to know your staff, your site and how things work, from the panel that plays up to the awkward cupboard and who to find in the office.
02
You can see what we can see.
We put software on your network for a month. It finds every device you own, with its age, warranty and condition, and lands it in inACT as red, amber or green against each DfE standard. You’ll know what replacing the laptops costs without anyone counting them by hand.
03
We bring you what’s next.
A monthly webinar, plain-English briefings, and a call whenever you want one. What actually matters for a primary, and what you can safely ignore.
You shouldn’t have to
keep up on your own.
AI in the classroom, and what to do about it in a school of a thousand. Cyber threats that change every term. What the schools you’re compared against are already doing. We track it, and we hand it to you in plain English.
What we do
Connectivity
Technology should feel effortless. Teachers should not have to think about Wi-Fi bandwidth or network performance. They should be able to focus on teaching. We provide the connectivity foundations that allow learning, collaboration and school operations to run smoothly every day.
- Reliable Wi-Fi across your estate
- Broadband and telephony you can depend on
- Secure networks built for resilience
Security, safeguarding & resilience
Schools rely on technology more than ever, making security and safeguarding essential to everyday operations. We help schools create secure, resilient environments that protect pupils, support staff and provide confidence that systems, data and services are safe.
- Safeguarding controls that protect pupils online
- Security and identity management that keeps data safe
- Backup and recovery designed for rapid restoration
Teaching & learning technology
The right technology should enhance teaching and learning, not create barriers to it. Every solution should be intuitive, reliable and designed around the needs of staff and pupils. We support schools to select, deploy and maintain technology that drives meaningful educational outcomes.
- Classroom technology that enhances teaching and learning
- Devices and platforms that are simple to use and manage
- Integrated systems that save time and reduce complexity
Modern workplace
Teachers and support staff need technology that helps them work efficiently, collaborate effectively and focus on what matters most. We assist schools in getting more from Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, optimising platforms, licensing and processes to improve productivity.
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace configured for success
- Licensing, printing and platforms kept under control
- AI and automation that save staff time
IT management & support
The best IT support solves problems before they affect teaching and learning. It combines day-to-day assistance with proactive management, clear accountability and a roadmap for the future. We work as an extension of your team, helping you maintain a stable environment today while planning confidently for tomorrow.
- Support from people who know your school
- Proactive management that reduces disruption
- Strategic planning that supports long-term goals
FAQs
The questions IT directors and finance leads ask us most often.
We have our own IT team. What would you actually do?
Fill the gaps rather than replace anyone. Colleges usually tell us they’re short of specialists — network, security, cloud — rather than short of people. We bring those in when you need them, plus capacity for projects and cover across sites, and we hand the work back cleanly.
Can you support multiple campuses properly?
Yes, and it’s most of what we do at this size. We’d look at the connectivity between sites first, because service continuity across campuses is usually where the real risk is sitting rather than in any single building.
How do you balance open access with security?
By separating them properly rather than restricting everyone. Identity, network segmentation and filtering let you keep open labs and BYOD without exposing the systems that would actually hurt you.
What does it cost?
It depends on the size of the college, the number of campuses and how much you want us to look after. Rather than quote a number that turns out to be wrong, we would rather come and look first. The discovery session is free and there is no obligation attached to it.

Where do you want the school to be in five years?
Start there.
We’ll tell you what it takes to get there, and what isn’t worth doing.
