Grace Mary Primary School
“Collaborating with Network IT 24 has been an incredibly rewarding experience for Grace Mary Primary School. From the outset, their specialist consultants demonstrated an in-depth understanding of our unique needs, guiding us through a comprehensive cloud migration and network upgrade process.
Their careful planning ensured a smooth transition, and on-site support minimised disruptions. Our staff returned after the half-term break to a secure, scalable cloud environment that provides seamless access
to essential data and applications from any location. This has significantly enhanced our teaching capabilities and streamlined our administrative operations.
Network IT 24’s expert recommendation to leverage Department for Education (DfE) funding was invaluable. It enabled us to upgrade our entire wireless infrastructure affordably, giving every classroom high-speed internet connectivity. The new network infrastructure provides reliable and secure access to digital resources and online learning applications, allowing our teachers to deliver interactive, tech-driven lessons. Administrative tasks are now faster and more efficient, freeing up staff time for other important tasks.”
