2025 will see Soltech IT continue to donate IT equipment to school's throughout the Southwest as part of our 'Giving Back To Schools' donation campaign. 


We were delighted to be able to donate more than £15,000 of 65" and 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreens to six local schools and MAT's.


Gareth Jones, commented "As a business it's great to be able to give something back to schools, be they a customer or not. Our most recent donations have helped transform the learning environments of pupils which is something we are very proud of."


These most recent donations have not only included a 65" or 75" Promethean ActivPanel Touchscreen, the schools have also received WiFi module upgrades, Android functionality, wall mounting brackets and relevant cables, plus delivery, removal / WEEE disposal of old equipment, installation and training, all as part of Soltech IT's donation.


That's around a £3,000 donation at each school or MAT.

Soltech IT's, Richard Witcombe issues virus warning for schools.

"We have been made aware of very damaging viruses and ransom-ware spreading emails being past throughout our schools. These viruses cause significant issues within schools and other educational establishments and can take a significant period of time to recover from." Soltech IT engineer Richard Witcombe described.

Please follow these simple measures to protect yourself and your school from viruses:

  • Please ensure anti-virus protection is installed and updated on all computer systems, ask your technician about this on their next scheduled visit if your not sure how this is done.
  • Be extremely cautious when opening emails and other attachments. Viruses can come from known contacts, whom themselves have become infected, whilst other virus can come from external sources.
  • Don’t follow any links to external websites that you are not familiar with.
  • If you become infected call the helpdesk: 01275 332835 and ensure you shut down the computer immediately preventing the virus spreading.
