IT Support for the Independent Education Sector

Information Technology is now a business-critical tool for staff and students, and IT reliance is significant in all parts of all academia and education, including schools, colleges and universities.

Our experience in the educational sector

Having worked closely with the educational sector over the last two decades, and with staff who have themselves worked in a variety of roles in the educational sector prior to joining Blueloop, we appreciate your needs.

We understand the complexities of systems upgrades and migrations, the peaks and troughs of workloads, and not forgetting the strains on the on-site IT teams, who need to manage budget constraints.

Our partnership with you

  • Blueloop will form a strong partnership with your team, working in collaboration with them to provide exactly the right IT solution to any issue. We’ll also ensure that your organisation receives the most cost-effective assistance in the best possible time-frame.
  • We’ll have regular conversations with the School Bursar who, from experience, is always happy to have Blueloop on hand as back-fill, or to provide that additional IT expertise and guidance for projects.
  • We can obtain the best value for your organisation, but we are also confident that we can guide you to the best solutions in the market to match the available funds.
  • Your existing on-site IT staff will able to take advantage of these additional benefits, too, as they have an opportunity to share our knowledge and expertise. If they reach the end of their technical expertise, Blueloop’s help is only a quick call away. They will subsequently receive handover and training to manage the implementation and IT systems going forward.

Case Study: Port Regis School

  • Port Regis engaged Blueloop to help with a significant price rise of their VMware licensing. The priority for the school was the continued delivery of an outstanding education, whilst concurrently improving its infrastructure and achieving value for money.

Does your school need help to prepare for increased cyber threats?

Schools are becoming prime targets for cyber attacks due to the sensitive data they store and the increasing reliance on digital systems. According to Ofqual, 29% of schools experienced a cyber security incident during the 2024/25 academic year. Cyber attacks can disrupt day-to-day operations, affect student learning, and compromise personal data.

Cyber security and data protection are critical priorities for schools. Understanding risks and implementing proactive measures can help protect students and staff.

If you are concerned that your IT cyber security policies and procedures are not robust, or they haven’t been regularly checked, Blueloop can help.

We offer an independent series of Penetration Tests, followed up with a detailed report providing both a physical and virtual assessment of the security of your school’s IT network system security.
