When a school moves into temporary classrooms or alternative buildings, the ICT setup often needs to change quickly. Classroom365 helps schools and multi-academy trusts keep teaching and administration running by relocating, reconnecting and supporting the ICT systems needed in temporary spaces.
From school Wi-Fi and broadband to interactive screens, charging trolleys, classroom devices and CCTV, we provide practical advice and services for schools during temporary classroom moves, emergency relocations and building works.
- Temporary classroom Wi-Fi and network support.
- Moving interactive screens, devices and charging trolleys.
- Support for CCTV, broadband and wireless links between buildings.
- Emergency ICT help for RAAC works, school decants and short-notice moves.
Who This Service Is For
This service is designed for:
- Schools moving into temporary classrooms or modular buildings.
- Schools affected by RAAC works or building remediation.
- Schools managing a decant or temporary relocation.
- MATs coordinating temporary teaching spaces across multiple sites
- Schools needing urgent ICT setup changes to avoid disruption.
RAAC, Building Works and Emergency School Moves
RAAC is one reason schools may need temporary accommodation, but it is not the only one. Temporary classrooms may also be needed during refurbishment, remedial works, urgent site issues or wider building projects.
Classroom365 can help schools respond to short-notice changes by supporting the technology needed in temporary teaching and admin spaces, including emergency setups, relocated classroom equipment and practical connectivity between buildings.
Honest Advice. Real IT Support
How We Can Help Schools and MATs
Temporary classrooms still need reliable technology. Classroom365 can help schools set up, move or adapt key systems so staff and pupils can continue working with as little disruption as possible.
Temporary classroom Wi-Fi and internet access
We can help assess wireless coverage, extend Wi-Fi into temporary classrooms, and support fast, secure internet for education, with firewall protection for teaching spaces, offices, and routes between buildings.

Interactive screens, projectors and classroom devices
We can support the relocation and reconnection of interactive displays, projectors, teacher devices and pupil devices, including SMART Boards in temporary classrooms, so lessons can continue with minimal disruption.
Charging trolleys and device storage
If laptops, iPads or school Chromebooks are being moved between buildings, we can help plan power, charging and storage so devices are ready for day-to-day use. This includes practical charging storage for iPads, support for a Chromebook charging trolley, and ensuring storage trolleys are plugged in and positioned correctly in temporary spaces.
Broadband, filtering and safeguarding systems
Temporary buildings still require appropriate internet access, along with filtering, monitoring and other safeguarding-related ICT systems. We can help schools maintain continuity where classrooms or staff move to new spaces.
CCTV and site connectivity
Where needed, we can support school security with CCTV cameras, wireless bridges and practical connectivity between main buildings and temporary classrooms.
Temporary Classroom ICT Checklist
Before pupils move into a temporary classroom or building, check that:
- Wi-Fi coverage is stable where teaching will take place.
- Broadband and filtered internet access are working.
- Interactive screens or projectors are ready to use.
- Charging trolleys and mobile devices are connected and powered.
- Staff logins and access to key systems are working.
- Printers, copiers and office devices are available where needed.
- CCTV and safeguarding systems continue to cover the temporary area.
The DfE wireless network core standard reinforces the need for a fully functional wireless signal throughout school buildings, including temporary teaching spaces where staff and pupils still need reliable access.
How Classroom365 Helps During a School Decant
A school decant, or temporary move, can create pressure on teaching spaces, admin systems and safeguarding processes. An ICT support technician from Classroom365 can help with temporary classroom setup, device relocation, Wi-Fi changes and practical connectivity between buildings during a school move.
Our role is to ensure the technology side is not overlooked.
We can help with:
- Temporary classroom setup and connectivity.
- Repositioning interactive screens and classroom devices.
- Moving charging trolleys and storage.
- Reconfiguring Wi-Fi access points and network links.
- Supporting staff logins, printing and admin devices.
- Providing urgent technical help when a move happens at short notice.
Where temporary accommodation is in use for an extended period, we can also support schools through an ICT service agreement with remote helpdesk access and scheduled on-site visits.
