School IT health check
What a school IT health check looks at, and what you get back.
Free, about 45 minutes, and built for schools. We map what you have, what is at risk and what to fix first, in language your Board will understand.
Who it is for
Business Managers and Principals, with or without an IT team.
If you carry the budget, the Board report or the duty of care for student data, this is for you. It works whether the school has an in-house IT person, a part-time arrangement or no one at all.

What we look at
Six areas, each in plain English.
Cyber basics and student data
How student and family information is protected, who can reach it, and where the gaps are.
Backup and recovery
Whether you could get back to teaching quickly after an outage, and how sure you can be of it.
Devices and the fleet plan
What you have, how old it is, and whether refresh is planned or arrives as a surprise.
Network and wireless
Whether the network copes when a whole year level connects at once.
Microsoft 365 and accounts
Licensing, sign-in and account hygiene, and whether you are paying for what you use.
Support arrangements and budget timing
Who helps when something breaks, and how IT spending lines up with your budget cycle.
How it runs
Four steps, and the last one is yours.

Questions we hear
School IT health check: common questions
What does the school IT health check cost?
Nothing. It is free, and there is no obligation to do anything afterwards.
How long does it take?
About 45 minutes. The written summary follows after that conversation.
Is it onsite or remote?
We will arrange the format that suits your school. Tell us your preference in the booking form and we will work it out with you.
What do we need to prepare?
Nothing. Come as you are. A device list helps if you have one to hand, but it is not needed.
Will you try to sell us something?
No hard sell. The point is a clear picture of where you stand and what to fix first. What you do with it is your decision.
Do we need an in-house IT person?
No. The health check suits schools with an IT team, schools with one person and schools with none. Business Managers and Principals are the usual people in the conversation.
