Classroom365’s ICT Service Level Agreements for schools have been developed over the years to cover all technical issues that can arise supporting a school network.
Each ICT SLA includes the following:
- Experienced ICT technicians. Our enhanced DBS-checked technicians are qualified and have worked with us and in schools for many years. They are reliable, diligent and friendly. We understand personality counts.
- A dedicated ICT helpdesk to log calls and helpdesk tickets as they come in.
- Third-line ICT support to help resolve the more complex technical problems that arise.
We keep it simple with every Gold, Silver and Bronze SLA for schools and multi-academy trusts. They are all described in detail below. Please complete our contact form below to enquire about our ICT contract pricing.

Every ICT service level agreement is designed to ensure your school’s network is up-to-date and performing optimally.
For 2024/2025, we offer Remote Support Plans starting at £999.
Our Gold, Silver and Bronze ICT SLAs offer schools three distinctive packages at an affordable price.
When your friendly ICT technician arrives onsite, they will quickly get to work addressing network performance issues, user logins, anti-virus updates, school server backup checks and repairing ICT hardware and software bugs. See our table below for comprehensive details.
We can install any purchased ICT software and hardware. You decide how to use our time onsite.
Our technician will log each task in our online tech support ICT helpdesk. End-of-term reports for both us and our clients are readily available for accountability. Our ICT support portal and resources can be accessed here. Plus, information can be tracked via traditional paper/pen methods (log books) if desired in the old-school way.
Our comprehensive technical support eliminates the need for costly additional fees. Other Managed Service Providers, for example, charge additional fees per workstation installation. Check your contracts!
We offer competitive quotes for projects requiring more in-depth work, such as installing a new interactive whiteboard in a classroom or migrating to Google Classroom. Learn more about our comprehensive range of ICT services and service delivery for UK schools.

This is an add-on to our Silver SLA. It is an excellent choice for total peace of mind, knowing that, no matter what, our on-site help will immediately handle any urgent technical difficulty.

Non-SLA technical support
Our ICT Helpdesk offers fast, efficient support for an hourly rate or a pre-determined price.
IT Contracts for Schools – Things to Consider
Should ICT in education be managed internally?
Whether a school employs a full-time ICT technician or has fully managed IT for schools, the cost is one of the most significant factors.
A permanent technician is not usually necessary for primary and small secondary or special needs schools. The advantage of an ICT support company such as Classroom365 is expertise from a whole team and school budget savings. Sometimes, technical assistance is only needed for half or one day per week.
Our experienced technicians ensure that any technical issues are resolved quickly, and your computing budget can be determined in advance with one of our ICT contracts. Whether it’s a new interactive display installation from Classroom365 or a simple helpdesk ticket, we will collaborate with you to save money for everything ICT in education.
ICT support SLA for Primary Schools
Primary ICT technical support differs from secondary school requirements. As your primary school’s first point of contact, we provide a tailored ICT contract based on one of our core SLAs with 3 to 12 hours of dedicated onsite support per week, depending upon school size.
Telephone and remote assistance are included in your contract, and emergency onsite cover is an option.
Secondary school technical support
Our comprehensive ICT support SLAs guarantee effective operations in secondary school education settings.
If a school network manager needs expert assistance or a third-line support engineer is required for 1 to 5 days a week, we can help.
We also offer temporary technical cover, so please get in touch with us today to discuss your needs.
