We Patner your SLT.
Plans are great, and governors adore them. We enjoy getting together and creating a mid-term plan for your ICT. It’s a journey and you don’t have to stick to it, but it’s great to see things “ticked-off-the-list” so you can see real progress.
We also help you budget, finance and make good long-term decisions, by carefully striking a balance between:-
- The techie things which are hidden that your ICT doesn’t work without.
- The brilliant technology enhances the learning experience of your pupils.
Our IT Support, makes your ICT work.
We partner with some fantastic heads but have seen some terrible ICT installations. It’s not your fault; it’s often down to poor advice, slick salespeople or bad installation teams.
The only thing we care about is finding the most cost-effective way of sorting your problems and supporting them longer term, regardless of who supplied it. If it’s terrible, we will tell you; if it can be salvaged, then we will do so; if it’s brilliant, let’s keep it and build on it; that’s what a true partner does.
