Empowering Schools with Technology, Curriculum Resources and Funding

Meet Soltech IT at the Gloucester Schools Conference on Tuesday 10th March.

Schools today face a difficult challenge: delivering exciting, modern learning experiences while managing tight budgets and increasing technology demands. At Soltech IT, we believe schools shouldn’t have to choose between great technology and affordability.

Next week we’re excited to be attending the Gloucester Schools Conference, where we’ll be showcasing how schools across the South West are transforming their IT, enhancing the computing curriculum and unlocking grant funding with our help.

Here’s a preview of what we’ll be sharing with schools on the day.

Reliable IT Support Designed for Schools

Technology is at the heart of modern education, but it needs to work seamlessly. Soltech IT provides friendly, specialist IT support tailored specifically for schools, including scheduled on-site support visits, helpdesk assistance and emergency call-outs when needed.

Our approach goes beyond simply fixing problems. We work with school leaders and business managers to ensure IT infrastructure is reliable, secure and aligned with long-term educational goals.

This means:

• Less downtime for staff and pupils
• Proactive IT management and planning
• Support for Windows, Apple Google and Cloud systems
• A trusted local partner schools can rely on

Free Curriculum Loan Kits to Inspire Pupils

One of the most exciting services we offer schools is our Curriculum Loan Kit programme.

Schools with a curriculum support contract can access free loan STEM and computing resources including robotics, gadgets, programming tools and software designed to support the national curriculum.

These resources help teachers bring computing and STEM to life in the classroom.

Examples include tools that support learning across:

• Computer science and programming
• Digital literacy
• Algorithms and logical thinking
• Cross-curricular learning in maths, science, art, languages and more

Each kit comes with lesson plans and guidance, and our team can provide training to help teachers get the most from the resources.

For many schools, this means delivering exciting STEM lessons without having to purchase expensive equipment.

Helping Schools Unlock Grant Funding

Budgets are under pressure everywhere in education. That’s why we offer a Bursar and Grant Funding service designed to help schools stretch their IT budgets further.

Our team works with business managers and bursars to:

• Audit ICT equipment
• Develop long-term technology plans
• Identify and assist schools with applying for grant funding opportunities

Since 2014, we’ve helped schools secure over £1 million in funding for technology and projects.

This support helps schools access new equipment, improve digital learning and upgrade infrastructure—often with minimal cost to the school.

Giving Back to Schools

Supporting education has always been at the heart of what we do.

Through our “Giving Back to Schools” campaign, Soltech IT has donated over £900,000 of support and equipment to schools since 2013.

Donations have included:

• Free IT support packages
• Visitor sign-in safeguarding systems
• STEM and computing equipment
• Laptops, VR headsets and robotics kits
• Promethean Interactive touchscreen panels

We believe technology should empower schools, not create financial barriers.
