Kingsway Junior School Our ICT Facilities
Their ICT suite was in need of an update as
they had only 15
non-networked PCs and a few standalone devices around the school.
They
didn’t have the time, money or expertise to embark on such a project
and wanted to work with a local company who would be able to deal
with all aspects of their ICT upgrade.
“We looked at a variety of approaches
but felt that the best way to ensure value was to work with an
organisation who had proven themselves in a similar environment to
ours.”
Ros
Taylor - Headteacher
Following visits to other local schools, Ros chose Leverstock
because we clearly had all of the qualities and expertise Kingsway
Junior School were looking for.
The Complete Package
Kingsway decided on a package that included terminals for 29
pupils, a teacher’s PC, interactive whiteboards and by
re-configuring existing PCs, each classroom and the library now enjoys
access to the internet and the teaching resources.
“Leverstock didn’t just deal with the
technology aspect, their solution encompassed air conditioning,
furniture, carpet and lighting. The Leverstock proposition was a
complete package.”
Kingsway’s new ICT solution has reduced administration and
paperwork and has increased the ICT skills of both teachers and
pupils in a very short space of time.
“Lesson plans
are all on-line, stored in shared access files, enabling staff to
work together more easily and in a highly efficient way. In addition, they feel that they are enhancing their own knowledge
and careers through use of this state of the art resource.
Leverstock lived up to their reputation and really bought into our
vision as well. Their references were excellent, their designs were
better than others that we looked at, their project management was
first class and the backup services were just what the school
needed”
