About Mitchell Brook Primary School
Located in the heart of Brent, Mitchell Brook Primary School is a vibrant, inclusive learning community dedicated to providing a nurturing environment where every child can achieve their full potential. With a diverse student body and a commitment to excellence, the school aims to equip its pupils with the digital skills necessary for success in the 21st century.
The challenge
Mitchell Brook Primary School faced significant hurdles with an aging IT infrastructure that could no longer keep pace with the demands of a modern curriculum. Frequent network downtime, slow login speeds, and unreliable Wi-Fi across the campus were disrupting lessons and creating frustration for teachers. Furthermore, the school needed a more robust cybersecurity framework to protect student data and ensure compliance with educational safeguarding standards.
The solution
Following a comprehensive audit of their existing systems, we designed a scalable Managed IT Services package specifically tailored for the education sector.
We overhauled the school’s backbone by installing a high-speed Full Fibre leased line and a site-wide Managed Wi-Fi 6 solution, ensuring seamless connectivity in every classroom and outdoor learning space. To address security concerns, we migrated the school to a secure Cloud-based server environment and implemented an advanced filtering and monitoring system. This not only protects the network from external threats but also ensures a safe browsing experience for pupils. Additionally, we provided a fleet of managed laptops and tablets, pre-configured with educational software, to facilitate 1:1 learning initiatives.
The results
Mitchell Brook Primary School now operates with a modern, “always-on” IT infrastructure that has transformed the classroom experience. Technical issues have been drastically reduced, allowing teachers to focus on delivering high-quality lessons rather than troubleshooting hardware.
With the new centralized management system, the school’s leadership team has gained full visibility over their IT assets, while the enhanced security protocols provide peace of mind that their digital environment is fully safeguarded.
“The impact on our teaching and learning has been immediate. We no longer lose valuable lesson time to technical glitches, and our staff feel confident using technology as a core part of their pedagogy. The support we’ve received has turned IT from a constant headache into a powerful tool for our school’s growth.”
