IT Support Services for Schools

Platform 365 for Education work with schools to create an IT environment that enables leaders, teachers and administration teams to excel in their jobs with the right tools. We want to help you drive forward your vision by delivering excellent support alongside a pedagogical approach to IT solutions – saving time and money in the process.

There’s no standard model or fixed pricing, all solutions are tailored to suit each school and its needs. We offer a range of services and support any ecosystem (including Google for Education and Microsoft Office 365 Education). From one-off infrastructure projects to full-time onsite support and everything in between; some of our most recent partnerships with schools include:

Fully Managed IT Support

Cybersecurity

Digital strategy development

IT health check asset management

We don’t have a sales team and won’t waste your time – we are only interested in helping your school achieve its vision.

Unlimited IT Support for Schools

Our unlimited IT support for schools service provides a fully flexible solution that the private sector have enjoyed for many years, surpassing the standard solutions offered by other IT suppliers within the education sector.

Your school will be supported by our friendly, reliable technicians and a professional UK based serviced desk that provides real-time assistance with remote monitoring and 24/7 access for issue resolution. Our monitoring tools will alert us to any network or system issues, so we will know if there is an issue before you do.

At Platform 365 we recognise that individual schools have different requirements. We take our time to understand these needs before proposing and delivering a bespoke solution that is right for your school.

Exact Requirements

Whether you are a primary or secondary school, independent, state-run or part of an Academy Trust we can work with you to ensure that the IT support for your school meets your exact requirements. You may be looking to outsource your IT support totally or you may simply need access to ad hoc specialist IT expertise to work alongside your internal IT department for a specific project. We are flexible and can work with you in the way that best suits your needs.

We know that school holiday periods are the perfect opportunity to undertake essential maintenance tasks as well as general consultancy work. As part of our standard service, we commit to a set number of days per week, which can be used as required. This means that work such as moves, upgrades and improvements are not charged in addition to your set monthly cost.

We are fully confident that we will change the way in which IT support is delivered and perceived in your school. How do we know this? Just ask our clients. They would be happy to share their experience of working with Platform 365 or have a look at our testimonials.

What Our Clients Say

It is essential for us to have a reliable external IT team who can keep us operating smoothly. Platform 365 have proven themselves more than capable in the two years we have been working with them. From a responsive helpdesk, through to orchestrating our migration to Office 365 and supporting an office move, they have handled everything quickly and professionally. I am happy to recommend them.

Julia Garvey - Deputy Director General, BESA

Sourcing the right IT supplier was a key decision to the ongoing task of improving service, functionality and cost saving across all six schools and the administration teams throughout the Trust. Platform 365’s proposal was the stand-out solution. Our decision has been completely vindicated.

Verity Bolton – Trust Services Manager - The Spring Partnership Trust

Platform 365 for Education set up a unique plan to support us in our move to Microsoft Teams. We were at a loss without any support, and they have helped us gain confidence in having it set up safely and with the correct controls and limits for the children. It is now working wonderfully for us and the work Platform 365 for Education has completed has been great!

Ruth Noble – Class Teacher and Computing and Online Safety Co-ordinator, Tonacliffe Primary School, Rochdal

I have worked with Platform 365 for the past 5 years, as a member of SLT with responsibility for teaching and learning, and now as a Head Teacher. I have always found them to be reliable and to support us in many ways – managing to resolve issues in a timely manner and providing value for money. Schools get to know their allocated team of technicians well – both those visiting and those working on the helpdesk – ensuring that trusting relationships are built. Platform 365 are also working with us on refreshing our digital strategy and their knowledge and expertise in this field has been excellent.

Rachel Haig – Head Teacher of Elmstead Wood Primary School, London

Platform 365 have provided bespoke training sessions for our schools to help the launch of Microsoft Office 365 across our Trust. The training was engaging, professional and delivered on the objectives set. Platform 365 offered additional support to our staff following the training and are clearly committed to providing an excellent service.
