Steps taken:We initially investigated problematic areas and then embarked on a full system analysis after speaking with senior management to fully understand the school’s ICT aspirations.
Installing an alternative internet service was our initial project, to ensure the school could be more in control of its ICT. The download speed was increased and allowed a number of devices to all work at the same time at a fast pace.
Implementation of a controlled filtering system followed, allowing access to previously blocked websites and online content.
Client results: Created a structured roadmap to continue to deliver proactive ICT solutions
Upgraded download speed from 2mb to 50mb
Improved accessibility to previously blocked sites
Better engagement between teachers and children

ICT is very important in any organisation but even more so in a school. Everyone from staff, pupils, parents and governors use it and expect it to be of the highest quality.
Our flexible approach to ICT infrastructure allows for organic growth, nurturing new technology and embracing your legacy equipment, enabling you to make the best use of your ICT budget.
As such technology continues to evolve we can advise on the best devices for your tailored environment including Clevertouch, iPads, Fizz Books and other hand held technology.
Once the solution is authorised, we manage the procurement, delivery and installation process ensuring that everything arrives on time and within budget.
Following the completion of your installation, our team will train your staff to ensure they are fully up to speed leading to no downtime. This alongside our ongoing support ensures that you have a single point of contact for any issues.

Our experts will provide you with a complete wireless networking recommendation – the Basic Site Survey is free of charge.
The survey will involve a site visit from one of our experienced engineers. The engineer will view the environment, layout and any existing wireless infrastructure.
The engineer will discuss with the school any special deployment requirements.
The engineer will also identify any potential wireless trouble areas and conduct a visual review of existing infrastructure which will support the proposed upgrade.
A wireless network plan for implementation will then be presented to the school.

Castle Academy approached ACS after they felt their current IT systems were slow, out of date and needed significantly upgrading.
CASTLE ACADEMY
Steps taken:Although the academy was initially reluctant to move over to ACS due to loyalty with their previous provider – they had to look for the best system on the market for the school, staff and pupils alike to move them forward.
After an initial assessment, it was decided that Castle Academy needed several areas of SIMS installing. These included Staff Performance, Discover and Assessment Manager.
“ ACS has made a massive difference to the IT structure of the academy but also added fluidity and continuity to the working processes we now boast. ”
“ The companies support network is also second to none and the whole team whether it be practical programme based or over on the technical side, are all experts in their respective departments. ”
Client results: Proactive relationship between Castle Academy and ACS
An ongoing strategic plan to ensure effective delivery of future projects
Confidence with technology thanks to ongoing training

Rachel BrownPark Primary Business Manager
ACS has support packages to suit your individual needs. You can choose monthly, quarterly or termly visits or simply just helpdesk support. There are six levels of support, each includes unlimited telephone/fax support.
Managing finances is one of the most complex tasks a school or college faces, yet strict guidelines and legal requirements mean it must be accurate, on time and accountable.
Our extensive financial solutions are underpinned by an in-depth knowledge of Local Authority and DfE requirements, and are delivered by a dedicated finance officer.
If your school is an academy, the financial accounting is more complex and must comply with company law and the Charity Commission requirements.
ACS Finance Services are totally tailored to the needs of the school. Whether it be FMS helpdesk services or 40 FMS visits per year, we are here to ensure the support solution meets your exact needs.
We provide a friendly, consistent and reliable support service that is totally bespoke to you:
Onsite school visits
Budget developing and planning
Budget monitoring
Provide CFR budget monitoring information
Assistance with monthly returns required by Local Authority
Preparation of benchmarking information
Production of best value statement on request
Maintenance of accounting records
Support to complete end of year accounts
An example of package content:
We first brought ACS on board in April 2014 and since then they have offered sound advice on the way we run our finances. ACS provide a service that has been long overdue in Doncaster, council services are stretched and they have filled a gap with their financial help and advice

GREENHILLPRIMARY SCHOOL
Greenhill Primary School in Wakefield contacted ACS for a quote when their ICT contract renewal came up with their previous provider and as they say - the rest is history!
Steps taken:After an initial assessment by the ACS education team, it was clear to see the whole network wasn’t fit for purpose and needed a complete overhaul.
ACS wanted to know where the school saw its ICT system in five years time and then presented a strategy to get Greenhill to that position. The school was extremely impressed by the professionalism, vision and clear understanding of their needs, and appointed ACS as its new ICT provider.
ACS initially installed a new server - which is not only quicker but safer too, a new wireless system, a new internet offering and innovative Clevertouch technology which replaced outdated projectors and whiteboards in all classrooms.
New iPads have been provided with survivor cases allowing the devices to be used across the vast grounds of the school which will be protected against accidental mishaps!
The school also benefits from an onsite engineer, based at Greenhill every Tuesday morning. Who is on hand to deal with any IT issues and offer advice the education provider may have.
Client results: Proactive relationship between Greenhill Primary School and ACS
Quicker server - able to run more than 70 devices at one time
New engaging IT equipment
An increased email capacity
An ongoing strategic plan to ensure effective delivery of future projects
Confidence with technology thanks to ongoing training
Dedicated ACS engineer - with weekly visits
An additional (external) trusted support team
ACS impressed from day one. As part of our tendering procedure we have to get three quotes for all large scale projects. We saw two other ICT providers and ACS stood out a mile. James and his team listened to what we wanted and acted on the brief rather than trying to sell us the most expensive options available and trying to push us down the avenue they wanted us to follow.

SharePoint
SharePoint is an online framework that integrates all key programmes, documents and websites in an easy to use format, for all staff working in an education provider to access at the click of a button. Each system is tailored by our highly skilled team to suit the requirements of each individual school.
11
Some like their students to access certain pages to share homework or class work for reference at home - security settings are put in place to ensure only the intended persons have access to key information and pages.
The ACS SharePoint portal provides a range of easy to use ‘content management’ tools and a powerful search engine so your resources can be securely stored in one place and accessed from home or school and using any device – PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
21
Since we have invested into the internet cloud based Office 365 SharePoint solution, the platform from ACS has made the way we work as a school more controlled and streamlined. All key documentation such as class planning information and calendars are stored in one handy yet secure location and can be accessed from anywhere at the click of a button

Jill Foster Headteacher - Richmond Hill Primary School

The college had to go out to tender for the innovative technology and ACS was appointed after the quotation process for a number of reasons; turnaround time, flexibility, advice given, value for money and also coming highly recommended by a college trusted partner.
LEEDS COLLEGE
Leeds College of Building offers construction courses to more than 2,000 students aged 18+ at its Hunslet Campus which is a brand new state-of-the-art facility.
Process and Implementation After an initial site visit by an ACS consultant it was decided where the 65” television screen, 18 55” Clevertouch screens and five interactive white boards would be installed most efficiently, the college needed a very quick turnaround over an eight day period.
The interactive screens were installed across 18 classrooms to be used as teaching aids. Already proving a big hit with students and staff alike as they can be connected to smart phones and other handheld devices to make lessons fully interactive and engaging.
The large 65” television screen was installed in reception but a number of challenges had to be overcome as the wall the screen was to be mounted onto wasn’t strong enough and hadn’t been strengthened during the initial build. With this in mind the ACS team sprung into action and helped the college staff come up with another solution in order to successfully put up the 85kg mass.
Once all technology was in place, 12 key members of the Leeds College of Building team were given comprehensive training on how to use it - ensuring no down time when the doors opened to students but also making sure all tutors were 100% confident in using the new technology.
Client results: Proactive relationship between Leeds College of Building and ACS
New engaging ICT equipment - for the benefit of students and staff
Confidence with technology thanks to training
Conclusion:The Clevertouch screens installed at Leeds College of Building have significantly improved the way the team work and the way curriculum is delivered to students whilst keeping them engaged.
ACS came highly recommended to us by a trusted partner and didn’t disappoint. From day one the team was fantastic - they had just an eight day turn around and were on site from 5am until 11pm some days ensuring our deadline was adhered too

It was approaching the end of the year and Beeston Primary School was evaluating its current ICT Provision. They decided they wanted to step up the external support they received so went out to tender for the contract.
BEESTON PRIMARY SCHOOL
Steps taken:After an initial meeting with Beeston Primary School’s senior leadership team and conducting a site survey to look at what ICT software and hardware was in place, ACS provided a detailed report showing how they could assist with future proofing the education provider’s ICT.
In the midst of the digital age, the school opted for the installation of three 65” CleverTouch screens in their year six classrooms, additional engineer support from one day a week to two and most recently a network upgrade that included two new servers and wireless hub.
Client results: Proactive relationship with ACS

THORNE BROOKEPRIMARY SCHOOL
Thorne Brooke Primary School contacted ACS more than five years ago and their professional relationship just keeps getting stronger and stronger! The School initially contacted ACS after it was no longer content with its ICT provider at the time and felt that they could get a better level of service elsewhere.
Client results: Proactive relationship between Thorne Brooke Primary School and ACS
New engaging ICT equipment
Confidence with technology thanks dedicated training sessions
Dedicated ACS engineer and team for ongoing support
Ongoing support and futureproofing of ICT solutions
Process and Implementation After an initial survey into the technology already in place, ACS commenced management of the school’s ICT provision, handling all day-to-day admin and adhoc technology projects for the site that offers education to more than 400 pupils from nursery to year 6.
The next stage in the development of the Thorne Brooke ICT adventure was to install a faster, safer wireless network for all pupils and staff to benefit from – ensuring staff and students could access the internet from a range of teaching aids.
The most recent project was to install 13 65” Clevertouch screens into all classrooms – firmly bringing learning to life.
Sahara Clevertouch screens give teachers the opportunity to present, share and collaborate work and information across any device and platform. They are the next generation of interactive solutions in the classroom.
Since joining forces with ACS, they have transformed our ICT systems and ensure we are always kept up to date with any new technology on the market. The new Clevertouch screens are phenomenal, they are simple to use but look so effective. They are visually reliable, crisp, bright and engaging, all pupils and teachers love them and it really has transformed the way teachers teach and pupils learn
