Professional Telecoms & IT Support for Schools and Education
Business managers and IT technicians working within schools, colleges and other childcare settings commonly deal with a uniquely diverse range of IT queries and issues, from telecom outages affecting the communication systems used by reception teams to cybersecurity issues, data protection concerns and software problems affecting student hardware.
With a sustained evolution within the educational sector and greater reliance on smart telecoms, immersive digital learning and virtual connectivity, our engineers and consultants support schools looking for faster, more efficient and better ways to keep their systems running smoothly.
Educational IT Support & Telecoms
Choosing Advanced Telecom Solutions for Schools
The communication challenges prevalent across the educational sector require tailored and targeted telecom solutions, ensuring schools and clerical support teams have the functionality to respond to fluctuating call volumes, prioritise urgent calls related to student welfare and emergencies, and yet conform to budgetary limitations and the need to protect pupil and family data.
As independent telecoms experts, we provide end-to-end support, recommending hardware, software and cloud-based telecoms that will improve capacity, reduce lags and augment family and student satisfaction without putting pressure on school resources.
Options such as VoIP conferencing can also be excellent tools for classroom learning, ensuring students can liaise with peer groups and educational resources from any location without sacrificing security or engage in live immersive learning scenarios without detracting from the capacity of central call-handling desks in reception areas.
Features such as intelligent call queuing, automatic caller identification, call recording and voicemail-to-email functions are ideal during peak times, ensuring every interaction is logged, responded to and actioned.
IT Support Education
The Importance of Agile IT Support for Schools and Colleges
The IT infrastructure within a school or college is often multifaceted, with devices, software, applications and hardware required for teachers, students, families, third-party agencies and administrative colleagues managing absences, admissions, communications and performance.
Schools also need to ensure every element of their telecoms and IT conforms to safety standards around data security, sensitive pupil data and confidential information where schools work in partnership with social care agencies and local authorities to manage the education for at-risk and vulnerable student groups.
Maximum Networks provides a full suite of services, ensuring you can pick and choose the assistance most important to your facility – whether you are responsible for the IT and telecoms in a small primary school or a large college with thousands of pupils.

We can audit your IT to identify potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities, recommend immediate solutions to reinforce data security and provide continued patches and updates to prevent any future gaps in your protection from emerging.
- Telecoms services: transitioning legacy solutions and outdated cabled phone lines to advanced, speedy and adjustable telecoms suites, facilitating virtual communications, on-demand call management and removing exposure to outages, downtime and glitchy call audio quality.
- Data backups and management: sensitive and confidential data should be correctly managed to safeguard pupils and families, collate audit trails for regulatory inspection purposes, and ensure data can be easily recovered or reinstated in an emergency.
Schools and colleges that operate as part of a group or trust, such as academies, can also benefit from cohesive IT support across their sites, supporting real-time information sharing and record-keeping to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of record-keeping and communications across the board.
