IT support for schools & academies

IT support built around the school day — with safeguarding, filtering and MIS at the centre.

Overview

Why schools in Lincolnshire come to us

Schools have IT needs that a generic business MSP will get wrong. Term-time uptime is non-negotiable, safeguarding and filtering have to be defensible on inspection, and everything has to work over patchy budgets and long summers of catch-up work. We support primary schools, secondary schools and multi-academy trusts across Lincolnshire — from the first cup of coffee to the last parents' evening.

What we solve

The specific problems schools tell us about

DfE Digital Standards alignment

We map your setup to the DfE Digital and Technology Standards for Schools and Colleges, so you can show progress against every domain: broadband, cloud, cyber, filtering and monitoring.

Safeguarding & filtering

KCSIE-compliant web filtering and monitoring, with alerts routed to your DSL and audit-ready reports for governors and Ofsted.

MIS & cloud integration

Bromcom, Arbor, SIMS, ScholarPack — we integrate the MIS with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace so staff aren't juggling five logins.

Holiday project delivery

The big changes — cabling, Wi-Fi refreshes, server retirements, room refits — get planned for half-terms and summer, not term time.

What's included

In your schools support plan

  • Cyber Essentials certification, aligned with DfE cyber standards
  • KCSIE-aligned web filtering and monitoring
  • Microsoft 365 A1/A3 or Google Workspace for Education setup
  • Classroom Wi-Fi that stands up to 30 devices in a room
  • Backup and recovery for MIS and staff data — with tested restores
  • Onboarding for new starters and safe offboarding at end of year

Signs you need us

If any of this sounds familiar…

  • Your DSL is chasing filtering reports by email every term
  • Wi-Fi drops out in specific rooms and nobody's ever fixed it properly
  • You've had a phishing incident and it wasn't handled cleanly
  • The MIS and 365 don't talk to each other, so accounts are managed twice
  • Your last IT audit for governors was more than 12 months ago

FAQ

Questions schools ask us before signing up

Do you work with multi-academy trusts?+

Yes. We support MATs across Lincolnshire with standardised support tiers, shared services where it makes sense, and consolidated reporting for the trust board.

Are you aligned with the DfE Digital Standards?+

Yes. Every school we onboard gets a gap analysis against the DfE Digital and Technology Standards, and a costed roadmap to close the gaps in sensible order.

Can you support existing filtering and MIS contracts?+

Absolutely. We work with Smoothwall, NetSweeper, Senso, Impero, Bromcom, Arbor, SIMS and ScholarPack — we don't force a rip-and-replace.

What about safeguarding audits and Ofsted?+

We produce audit-ready reporting for governors and inspectors, including filtering logs, monitoring alerts and evidence that KCSIE technical standards are being met.
