Telephone Systems for Schools

Our hosted telephone systems are specifically designed to provide a feature set ideal for schools and other educational establishments. We provide cost-effective, scalable, and low-maintenance phone systems that provide a reliable and secure telephone platform that can easily be provided in isolation, or as part of a larger, integrated, all-in-one, communications system.

Our solutions are future proof and fully digital, meaning that they come ready for the BT 2027 switch off. Our hosted systems are fully cloud based, meaning that they remain secure and don’t demand high upfront costs, large on-site racks of equipment or concerning maintenance overheads.

Free up resources

Our phone systems for schools ditch the hefty upfront investment and costly on-site hardware installations in favour of a remote, hosted phone system that lives in the cloud. The means that there is minimal investment required in on site hardware, and that practically, each telephone handset only needs to be able to plug into your existing network for internet access. This translates into a significant saving on both capital expenditure and burden on your IT team, freeing up resources for what matters most – your students.

Scaling with ease

As your school population grows, or departments expand and evolve, your communications need to be able to adjust. With our hosted phone systems, adding a new extension or feature can be achieved with just the click of a mouse, either by your in-house team or remotely based support staff. No need for disruptive outages, hardware upgrades or complex reconfigurations, simply scale up or down to suit your organisational requirements.

Minimal maintenance, maximum uptime

Say goodbye to the days of waiting for a phone engineer to attend an unexpected system breakdown, being cloud based means being able to provide on the fly redundancy and constant, uninterrupted lines of communication. Our phone system is provided through BT’s digital network, and benefits from unmatched levels of uptime and security, with 24/7 monitoring and pro-active maintenance at no extra cost.

Features tailored to education

We specialise in phone systems for schools, so we understand the unique communication requirements that educational establishments require. That’s why we offer phone systems with a tailored feature set, streamlined to enhance your day-to-day operations:
