Many ICT hardware suppliers are available, each offering a unique spin on the same ICT equipment. Procuring computer hardware and ICT services is easy, but getting the best price takes good judgment and skill. Classroom365 offers ICT installation services for the equipment we sell, trusting in the products we supply to schools.
Classroom365 can help get the best possible prices for IT hardware for schools. We have great trading relationships with all the prominent manufacturers and distributors. As an approved provider on the RM6098 Crown Commercial Framework TePAS 2, you can trust us as an approved ICT hardware supplier.
Prices for ICT hardware can fluctuate considerably these days for many reasons:
Chip shortages:
Although primarily resolved in 2023, some hardware, such as wireless devices, have longer lead times.
Economic instability:
ICT hardware resellers do not keep so much hardware in stock and offer less favourable credit facilities to purchasers.
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 ICT hardware.
Older 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 SignIn App for iPad and InVentry Sign-In, and ensures that your visitor sign-in solution is installed hassle-free.
The InVentry system for schools is the market leader in education. With InVentry or Sign In App, both great products, schools can secure their environment from unnecessary intruders with seamless visits for authorised guests.
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 via mobile device management (MDM).
We are a reseller of the popular LapCabby Charge & Sync and Zioxi iPad trolley ranges for schools.
We will beat any online prices for trolleys and other hardware.

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 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.
