Managed services

Joined-up support across school IT.

Day-to-day support sits alongside maintenance, security, governance and longer-term planning, with responsibilities agreed for each school.

Service coverage

Responsibilities set out clearly.

During onboarding, responsibilities are documented across the school, internet provider, MIS provider and hardware suppliers so ownership and escalation routes are visible.

01

User support

Unlimited remote helpdesk, onsite support, classroom incidents, SLT escalation and clear ticket ownership.

02

Proactive operations

Monitoring, patching, alert response, backups, documentation, lifecycle and capacity management.

03

Identity & cloud

Microsoft 365, Entra, Google Workspace, SSO, MFA, licensing, groups, mail and shared services.

04

Devices

Windows, ChromeOS, iPad, macOS and Android provisioning, policy, updates, security and replacement planning.

05

Infrastructure

Broadband, firewall, filtering, switching, Wi-Fi, VLANs, servers, storage, classroom AV and printing.

06

Leadership

Roadmaps, budgets, supplier reviews, policies, governor reports, risk registers and project governance.

Fully managed or co-managed.

A smaller school may need broad managed coverage. A larger school or MAT may need senior escalation, shared tooling and project capacity around an established team. Both models can use the same documentation and service reporting approach.
