Since 2010, we've developed concise IT strategies and IT visions for many schools, colleges and trusts. Our approach is multi-stakeholder and includes audits, surveying staff, team reviews in-class with teachers, "Art of the Possible" kick-off days and more.
​
We don't agree with creating countless pages of "lip service" to what IT can do for your organisation, or to baffle you with fancy unproven tech. Instead, we create a live, workable strategy to ensure you get buy-in from staff, students, parents and governors.
