CCTV is increasingly vital for schools to protect valuable ICT equipment, such as SMART Boards and network access points, and to deter theft. Following the 2022 DfE KCSIE guidance, CCTV also plays a key role in safeguarding students and staff.

Classroom365 ensures fast, reliable, and secure WiFi for schools, offering free site surveys, professional quotes, network cabling, POE power setup, and expert installation of Ruckus, HPE Aruba, or WatchGuard WiFi solutions. With over 15 years’ experience, our team delivers managed wireless networks tailored to your school’s needs.

Leasing ICT equipment is now a practical option for schools facing tight budgets, allowing payments to be spread over 1–5 years. Schools can pay a fixed plan, buy the equipment at market value at the end, or return it and lease new hardware. Our DfE-approved partner guides you through modern, transparent leasing options, helping you avoid outdated or unfair contracts.

Classroom365 is frequently asked about the best MIS for independent schools. While Arbor and Bromcom are growing rapidly in state schools, fee-paying schools require specialised MIS solutions to handle unique needs such as school fees. We review the leading options in the private and international school sector to help schools choose the right system.

With so many MIS options available, choosing the right provider is essential for smooth school operations. While our reviews separate state schools from independent and international schools due to differing market needs, the best MIS depends on factors like school size, type, and whether it’s a multi-academy trust or caters to special needs.

Arbor MIS is the fastest-growing cloud-based management system for UK state primary and secondary schools, used by over 6,000 schools. Classroom365 provides expert Arbor support, leveraging 20 years of MIS experience and enhanced DBS-approved ICT services to ensure a seamless, fast, and reliable migration or ongoing use, without the need for on-site servers.

We provide ICT strategy, backups, and migration planning, and will soon offer dedicated third-party Bromcom support, further enhancing our ICT services for individual schools and multi-academy trusts.
