ICT Services for UK Schools

Leasing ICT Hardware
Many schools prefer leasing ICT hardware. It allows them to access the latest tech without high upfront costs. ICT leasing is a cost-effective solution to spread payments for new computing resources over many years.
Our ICT services provide impartial leasing advice and ongoing support through every step of the procurement process. This leaves you free to explore options that fit best with the length of lease required – anywhere from one year up to five.
We also offer extended warranties for ICT hardware that has passed the manufacturer’s guarantee.
iPad & Chromebook Management
There are many benefits of iPads in schools for teachers and students alike, including quick access to the device, long battery life and an extensive range of curriculum apps. Chromebooks also have their unique benefits, the number one being their low price.
Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a must-have requirement for configuring and managing iPads and Chromebooks. In Classroom365’s experience, we have seen devices corrupted, bricked, wiped, and infected because the MDM is either absent or not set correctly.
We recommend Meraki for Education and JAMF School. Both of which we are experts in setting up for schools. If you have a lot of tablets and other mobile devices – you need this!
Google Workspace for Education
Chromebooks are the most affordable way for schools to maximise devices in the classroom and benefit from Google Workspace for Education. Classroom365 offers schools Google purchasing and installation services:
- Management Console licences. Each device needs a licence to enrol into the learning environment.
- Integrate and migrate email and data into Google Workspace for Schools.
- Set up Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals from scratch.
School Photocopier Services
School photocopier leases are among our many popular ICT technical services. We provide educational establishments with an easy-to-understand, pay-per-page plan.
Together with our partner, we offer competitive quotes on Kyocera TASKalfa photocopiers.
We offer comprehensive support for manufacturers such as Sharp and Ricoh. This support includes assistance with the installation and configuration of their network copiers. It is included with our support SLAs.
Broadband for Schools
Classroom365 supports all broadband providers for education, including the LGFL. We offer cost-effective broadband solutions for education if you need safe, secure and reliable internet without all the extras.
We can help make the switch. Moving to a different internet provider will save your school money without tying you into a long-term broadband contract.
We can manage the filtering policies, internet monitoring, and firmware updates. We can also manage the security and firmware updates your provider releases.

Office 365 Education Services

RAAC in Schools
The RAAC concrete in schools crisis is affecting over 200 educational establishments in the UK, according to the latest figures from the DfE.
Classroom365 provides emergency ICT services for schools affected, such as the quick deployment of iPad and laptop trolleys in temporary classrooms. We can also quote for the required ICT hardware or an ICT installation service with existing ICT equipment.
Quick equipment relocations between classrooms and the setup of fast wireless networks to remote buildings or mobile classrooms are all possible in short time frames.
Software Licencing for Education
Classroom365 takes the hassle out of Microsoft Office Volume Licensing.
We are partnered with Phoenix Software. They provide schools with specialised agreements to ensure software compliance and optimal pricing. The agreements are based on Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) employee count.
Let us help you maintain your licensing needs for a seamless experience and minimal administration.
Software licencing is one of the many ICT service management solutions we provide.
