i-Tech for Schools Partnership
Description
i-Tech for Schools Partnership is a managed IT services offering that provides technology support, infrastructure management, and educational technology solutions to schools and other educational institutions.
The partnership programme delivers ongoing technical support and IT infrastructure management tailored to the requirements of primary, secondary, and independent schools. Services typically include network administration, device management, server and storage support, helpdesk provision, and procurement assistance for classroom and back-office technology.
Schools enrolled in the partnership receive scheduled on-site visits alongside remote support to address day-to-day technical issues affecting staff and pupils. Alongside core support functions, the service covers areas such as cybersecurity, online safety filtering, cloud services, Wi-Fi and connectivity, and the deployment of audiovisual and classroom equipment.
The partnership model is structured around long-term agreements rather than ad-hoc engagements, with the supplier acting as an outsourced IT department for schools that do not maintain a large in-house technical team. Additional consultancy is offered around technology strategy, budgeting for IT, and compliance with sector-specific requirements such as data protection and safeguarding standards.
