IT Support for Schools
Empowering Education with Tailored IT Solutions
At ICTn, we provide specialist IT support for schools and educational organisations across the UK. For more than 25 years, we have helped schools, colleges and multi-academy trusts utilise technology that enhances learning, protects data, and improves everyday operations.
Our IT support is flexible and built around how your school operates. Whether you require a fully outsourced managed IT service, additional cover for an in-house network manager, or scalable support as your needs change, we tailor our services to fit your environment. Our goal is simple: to keep your systems running securely, reliably and efficiently so teachers can focus on delivering exceptional education.
We understand that IT in education is no longer just about keeping computers working. It is about creating a secure, connected and collaborative environment where staff and students can thrive. By delivering tailored ICT solutions backed by proactive monitoring and responsive support, we help schools operate with confidence, resilience and clarity.
Introduction to Education Technology
The education sector has undergone a significant digital transformation in recent years, with technology now central to how schools teach, communicate, and operate. Schools, in particular, are leading the way in adopting innovative IT systems that enhance learning, streamline administration, and improve collaboration across staff and students. As technology continues to evolve, reliable and efficient IT support has become essential to maintaining smooth, secure and effective teaching environments.
At ICTn, we provide schools with specialist ICT support designed to keep their systems performing at their best. Our managed service packages cover everything from network management and cybersecurity to cloud solutions, data protection, and remote support. By proactively monitoring and maintaining each school’s IT infrastructure, we help staff stay focused on education rather than technical issues.
We understand that every school is different. That’s why we work closely with primary and secondary schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts to deliver solutions that meet their specific goals. Whether that means strengthening cybersecurity, migrating to the cloud, or improving classroom connectivity, our team offers the right balance of technical expertise and strategic guidance.
The rise of cloud-based tools and remote learning has made secure, accessible systems more important than ever. We support schools in making the most of platforms such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, helping teachers deliver engaging lessons and ensuring students can learn effectively from anywhere. With robust disaster recovery and data protection in place, schools can operate confidently knowing their information is secure and their systems are resilient.
Our mission is to make technology work seamlessly in education. By partnering with ICTn, schools gain access to a trusted IT team that understands their challenges and priorities. Together, we can build a reliable, secure, and future-ready IT environment that empowers teachers to teach and students to thrive.
Education Sector Specialists
Education has always been at the heart of what we do. As one of the UK’s most trusted IT support providers for schools, we understand the challenges that come with balancing tight budgets, limited resources and evolving technology demands. From primary and secondary schools to multi-academy trusts, our experienced team works closely with school leaders and IT professionals to design systems that truly meet the needs of modern education.
We take time to understand every school we work with – its structure, goals and existing IT infrastructure – before recommending improvements. This collaborative approach means every solution we provide is both technically sound and strategically aligned with your long-term objectives. Whether you’re looking to modernise legacy systems, improve security or streamline your cloud setup, we provide ICT support that makes a measurable difference to teaching and learning.
Reliable IT Infrastructure and Network Management
Your school’s network is the foundation of your digital environment. Slow connectivity, inconsistent Wi-Fiand outdated hardware can disrupt lessons and waste valuable teaching time. Our engineers design, install and maintain a robust IT infrastructure that supports reliable connectivity across every classroom, office and department.
From structured cabling and fibre installations to wireless upgrades and network optimisation, we ensure every aspect of your school network runs smoothly.
As part of our managed service packages, we monitor your systems remotely to identify and resolve issues before they cause disruption. We don’t just respond when something breaks – we deliver proactive support that keeps your IT running at peak performance. The result is a more stable, efficient and secure environment where students and staff can access the tools they need without interruption.
Cyber Security and Data Protection
Protecting sensitive data is one of the most important responsibilities of any school. We help educational institutions strengthen their cybersecurity posture through a comprehensive approach that covers prevention, detection and recovery. Our solutions include firewalls, antivirus software, secure backups and regular vulnerability assessments, all designed to reduce the risk of cyber threats and unauthorised access.
In addition to safeguarding against attacks, we help ensure compliance with GDPR and Department for Education data protection standards. Our team stays up to date with the latest guidance and best practices, giving you complete confidence that your systems are secure and your data is protected. From pupil information to exam records and financial data, every element of your school’s digital infrastructure is covered.
Cloud Solutions and Remote Learning
Cloud technology has transformed how schools deliver education, enabling greater flexibility, accessibility and collaboration. We support schools in adopting and managing cloud solutions that improve both classroom and administrative efficiency. Whether you use Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or a hybrid setup, we design and implement systems that make learning and management more seamless and secure.
With the rise of remote and hybrid learning, we’ve helped many schools build a reliable, secure platform that allows students and teachers to connect from anywhere. Our cloud-based systems support virtual classrooms, resource sharing, and secure remote access, all underpinned by strong data protection and disaster recovery measures. By leveraging the cloud effectively, schools can future-proof their IT environment and adapt quickly to changing educational needs.
Digital Transformation for Education
Digital transformation in education isn’t just about upgrading equipment – it’s about empowering teachers and students to reach their full potential through technology. We work with schools to plan and implement digital strategies that improve learning experiences and streamline operations. From interactive classroom technology and secure online platforms to integrated communication systems, our solutions help create a connected digital ecosystem that supports innovation in teaching.
As your strategic IT partner, we look beyond short-term fixes to focus on long-term progress. We evaluate your current systems, identify opportunities for improvement, and deliver a roadmap that aligns technology with educational goals. Our team ensures that every investment you make in IT has a measurable, positive impact on learning outcomes and operational efficiency.
Supporting Multi-Academy Trusts
For multi-academy trusts, consistency and scalability are key. We help MATs establish unified IT systems that deliver centralised control while allowing each school to operate efficiently. This includes standardising networks, software and security protocols across multiple sites, ensuring that every school within the trust benefits from the same high level of reliability and protection.
Our tailored support for MATs covers everything from cloud migrations and infrastructure consolidation to helpdesk services and staff training. With a single trusted partner managing your IT systems, your leadership team can focus on educational priorities rather than technical challenges.
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Every educational organisation needs a robust plan to recover from unexpected disruptions. Our disaster recovery and business continuity solutions ensure that in the event of hardware failure, cyberattack or data loss, your systems can be restored quickly and securely. We implement automated backups, redundant systems and tested recovery processes so your school remains operational no matter what happens.
By building resilience into your IT systems, we protect your school from costly downtime and data loss, ensuring that staff and students always have access to essential tools and information.
