Connect the Classroom - Schools

---

What is Connect the Classroom? 

Connect the Classroom is an investment funding project run by the Department for Education (DfE). The current programme offers eligible schools, an upgraded wireless networking solution to improve their IT infrastructure.

Please feel free to contact us to assist with any Connect the Classroom or similar infrastructure design projects.   We have been very successful in the last couple of years having all our proposals / designs approved by the DfE for our growing list of customers. We have since implemented all these network infrastructure projects in schools. 

We would love the opportunity to perform the initial evaluation which will include a full survey of existing infrastructure along with a new design and full quotation.  We can assist every step of the way from initial DfE contact to implementation and sign off. 

Why chose us as your provider?

We are DfE Connect the Classroom experts, Cambium Networks Connected Partners and also an approved supplier on the EICT Framework. Our attention to detail is unbeatable as well as our customer services.   

We are very happy to provide many customer references upon request.
