Service Contracts
We offer a range of service contracts to suit any size of school with any amount of equipment – we are also able to provide support to a cluster of schools. The contracts vary from a basic 3 hour visit scheduled every 3 weeks to a full day visit every week. We can even tailor make an individual contract if any of ours don’t fit in with your school’s requirements.

Website Design
We can design an individual website for your school, update your existing one or you can use our custom built website package (built with the help of St Andrew’s CE Primary School, Wigan).
SchoolSite is an innovative design that allows your staff (or even your pupils) to take control of your website content using the latest technology. It is database driven which gives you the flexibility to add or update text, documents and photos or even examples of your student’s work – all in a few clicks!
