IT Support for Schools and MATs

IT Support for Schools & MATs in the South West: A Smarter, Safer, Fully-Supported Approach


Why reliable IT support is no longer optional for schools


Across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Bristol, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) are under more pressure than ever. Budgets are tight, safeguarding requirements are increasing, and technology is now critical to teaching, learning and school operations.


Yet many schools are still relying on:


  • Reactive IT support
  • Outdated filtering solutions
  • Disconnected suppliers for hardware, broadband and safeguarding systems


This approach increases risk, costs more in the long run, and distracts staff from what really matters — education.


At Soltech IT, we specialise in fully managed IT support for schools and MATs, delivering secure, compliant, and cost-effective solutions tailored specifically to the education sector. We also reduce ICT school expenditure significantly in 99% of cases and help school gain funding as part of our inclusive Bursar and Grant Funding services.


Specialist IT support for schools & academies

Schools are not businesses — and their IT support shouldn’t be treated like one.


Education IT requires:


  • Understanding of KCSIE & safeguarding
  • Familiarity with DfE guidance
  • Reliable support during the school day
  • Long-term planning, not short-term fixes


Our managed IT support for schools provides:


  • Proactive monitoring and maintenance
  • Fast on-site, scheduled support visits and remote support
  • Strategic IT planning aligned with budgets and cost reduction
  • Support for staff, leadership teams and trusts
  • Clear SLAs designed around school hours
  • Loan computer curriculum resources, including software, games and gadgets with lesson plans


Whether you’re a primary school, secondary, or MAT, our approach ensures technology supports education — not disrupts it.
