Providing ICT clarity of thought and expertise.
Our consultants are experts in harnessing ICT excellence for UK Education. Our consultancy and advice, often in the form of meetings and discussions, gives you clarity of thought, clear identification of the ICT issues your organisation faces, and recommendations for moving forward.
If you’re building a new educational facility, then we partner with you to offer PITT support, so that you can use our knowledge and expertise to increase your chances of success.
An ICT Audit and Review is crucial to establishing effective ICT solutions within your organisation.
Working closely with you, we carry out an objective and discreet audit of your ICT operations and network infrastructures, as well as your learning and teaching methods.
If you have difficult spots that need specific attention, such as ensuring you are complying with the GDPR, we can just audit those specific areas of your ICT.
For ICT to be effective in Education you need a clear link between the organisation’s educational vision, the ICT vision and the ICT strategy.
Whether you have legacy ICT or are constructing a new building so have a clean slate, we help you determine how ICT needs to be used going forward, crystalising it into an ICT Vision.
We then recommend the best technology solutions, creating your own strategic implementation plan, setting out how to make the ICT vision a reality.
If you’re creating a new build, then we plan and design the whole ICT infrastructure so that ICT works from day one and is still fit for purpose years later.
We can oversee the implementation of new technology, making sure your ICT Vision and Strategy become a reality.
With over 20 years’ experience delivering ICT projects into Education organisations and their buildings, we can project manage delivery of the recommended ICT solutions. From implementing software to improving your data management to building an ICT infrastructure to best value procurement, we can deliver.
Governance is key here. We can help you manage project progress, cost management, risks and issues, as well as change controls and user acceptance testing.
We’ll help you put in place solutions to ensure that improvements in ICT are sustained.
Like our clients, we want to make sure that the effort that has gone into determining and introducing improvements to ICT is maintained.
Therefore, we offer a range of capacity and capability solutions which include: an ICT Strategic Facilitator, CPD for your ICT team; regular accountability updates to ensure the ICT Plan is on track; providing interim ICT Directors while advising on how to recruit a permanent team member.
We developed a management tool, Questa, for trusts and MATs to help them use their data effectively.
Questa is a powerful management tool for trust and school leaders, both on an educational and a business level.
Questa allows you to analyse, compare, forecast and report on subject performance, quality of learning, and progress within different pupil groups. It also lets you check the consistency and impact of your teaching across ALL the schools in your trust.
Questa also enables you to effectively manage your trust or school from a business perspective, providing you with up-to-date information for areas such as finances, budgets, staffing and resources.
"The ongoing support from the Questa team has been excellent. The team provided a step by step walkthrough for setting up the system." - Gary Handforth, Executive Principal & Director of Education.
