ICT Equipment from Classroom365
There are many ICT equipment suppliers, but choosing the right hardware, warranty and support route takes careful planning. Procuring computer hardware and ICT services may seem straightforward, but getting the best value takes experience, judgement and supplier knowledge.
Classroom365 supplies, installs and supports the devices we recommend, giving schools one point of contact for procurement, setup and aftercare.
As an approved supplier on the RM6098 Crown Commercial Framework TePAS 2, Classroom365 gives schools a trusted route to buy hardware and related services.
Computer Hardware for Schools Pricing
Due to ongoing economic pressures and changes in stockholding, availability and pricing can fluctuate more than they used to. Many suppliers now hold less stock, and in some cases, hardware quotes may be valid for only 24 to 48 hours.
Classroom365 will always try to secure the best available education pricing, but we recommend confirming orders promptly once a quote has been approved, especially for laptops, Chromebooks, iPads, servers, networking equipment and interactive displays.
Classroom365 offers schools and educational establishments 30-day invoicing terms free of charge.

Chromebooks and Trolleys
Classroom365 offers educational Chromebook pricing from big suppliers. These include HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Acer.
We do not recommend or supply Geobooks or other no-brand, ultra-cheap Chromebooks. Many models out there sold into education are not fit for purpose. Schools should beware of substandard IT hardware.
Older school laptops that have been retired or cannot accommodate Microsoft Windows can be “resurrected” with ChromeOS Flex.
This will turn them into much faster Chromebooks.
For storage options, check out our page on trolleys for Chromebooks.
Visitor Management Systems
We work closely with the leading visitor management systems, providing support and installation planning. For example, electrical work and network configuration must be considered before the electronic visitor sign-in system can be successfully installed at your school.
Classroom365 partners with the best signing-in systems, including the visitor Sign In App for iPad and InVentry Sign-In, and ensures that your visitor sign-in solution is installed hassle-free.
InVentry is the market leader in education. With InVentry or the Sign In App, both great products, schools can secure their environment from unnecessary intruders with seamless visits for authorised guests.
Visualisers for Teaching
Classroom365 sells a wide range of classroom visualisers, from the Ladibug and AVerVision series to the top-of-the-range SMART Document Cameras.
Connecting a visualiser to an interactive screen is a cheap and effective way to enhance the learning experience. Learn more about the latest visualisers that Classroom365 recommends for teachers. With a visualiser, teaching staff can:
- Display artwork.
- Show close-up details of objects.
- Record nature and science videos with insects and bugs.
We offer education pricing through trusted IT distribution partners.
iPads, Charging Trolleys & Storage
Popular for mixed learning environments, iPads in schools are discounted from their online prices by up to 10% depending on the iPad Gen version and specification.
Classroom365 offers an array of iPad charging trolleys and storage lockers to facilitate the installation, deployment, and management of iPads and tablets via mobile device management (MDM).
We are a reseller of the popular LapCabby Charge & Sync and Zioxi iPad trolley solutions for schools.
We will beat any online prices for trolleys and other storage devices.
Phone Lockers for Schools
With the DfE’s non-statutory guidance on mobile phone use in schools encouraging but not “yet” banning them, phone lockers are becoming increasingly popular. They allow students to bring their phones to school but lock them away safely on school premises.
The mobile phone lockers for schools recommended by Classroom365 are secure, virtually indestructible and come in many colours and options.
Network File Servers
Classroom365 supplies and installs a range of file servers from HPE and Dell, mainly the ProLiant and PowerEdge series, respectively. Rack-mounted and tower options are available, depending on the location and space available.
RAID and fault tolerance will always be suggested, and scalable hard drives will mean your school won’t run out of space for at least the next five years.
List of ICT Equipment
Classroom365’s list of ICT equipment we supply is continually expanding with new products evaluated.
Classroom365 and our educational IT hardware partners promise exceptional pricing and professional school ICT procurement. We cover everything from a single network cable to student laptops to a new school hall audio-visual solution.
We do not sell any non-brand or build-your-own type of computers. Most hardware has a three-year warranty; 1 year is always the minimum.
