Small/Rural School Support
Small/Rural School Support
Small and rural schools require a more flexible and personal approach, backed up with the ability to ensure that key systems and technology continues to be reliable and provide the same outcomes as other larger schools in more easy to reach urban areas.
We have invested significantly in both our support technology and staff resources over recent years so that we are able to offer a great level of service to schools that are either not big enough to justify spending thousands of pounds on dedicated support provision or are located in hard to reach rural areas where local, specialist support provision is not freely available.
Small/Rural School Support
At Blue Box IT we work with a large number of smaller and rural schools in areas such as the Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District and look to provide a cost-effective, flexible support service based on the following:
- A free initial health check audit and migration from your current support provider.
- Term-time and holiday period support cover via our easy to contact remote support team.
- Ongoing monitoring and maintenance of key school systems through the provision of regular monitoring and health checks.
- Flexible onsite visits as and when required – from weekly to termly depending on your school requirements and budget.
- Free ICT advice and planning including consultancy around the potential to move to our Blue Box Cloudschool solution – improving remote access and collaboration for your school and your wider school community.
- Expert advice around the provision of alternative rural broadband solutions through our Blue Box Connect solutions.
- In-house installation team for all data cabling, electrical work and security/access control solutions.
- Friendly and jargon free support and advice from across the Blue Box Group team.

We are grateful to Blue Box IT for their continuing expert support of all IT matters here at Greystones Primary School. Danny, our IT support engineer, is a seamless part of our staff team; always has a pleasant temperament with the staff and pupils and a very caring attitude towards his work here.
Excellent support is also given by the helpdesk staff, and problems are resolved swiftly and expertly. We have a diverse range of IT support needs from time to time, and nothing appears to be too trivial or too complicated. Thank you for your dedication, attention to detail, and excellent customer service.

We have been working with Blue Box IT for a few years and are extremely pleased with the service we have received; they are very responsive to our needs and quite literally no job or request is too big or too small. We have a visit from an onsite engineer, who is very personable and very knowledgeable. An expert in his field.
Their understanding of how a school works, not just the ICT, makes such a difference in dealing with them.
With budgets so tight, value for money is imperative and Blue Box IT always looks for the best option at the best price. I fully recommend this company!”
