Imagine it’s first thing on a Monday morning at your primary school or MAT office in Liverpool. The network login screen freezes just as the new term’s attendance registers need updating. Class emails won’t send, and the IT coordinator is pulling out their hair. Sound familiar?

You’re focused on educating children and supporting teaching staff—not firefighting tech issues. That’s where HiltDigital steps in: delivering clear, jargon-free IT and cybersecurity support that keeps your school or Multi Academy Trust running smoothly—and helps you save money along the way.

From Emergency Fixes to Everyday Confidence

Many schools rely on “break-fix” support: you call someone when the Wi-Fi drops, pay per hour, then cross your fingers it stays up. But that’s like waiting for the projector lamp to blow before keeping a spare on hand.

With proactive maintenance, we:

  • Monitor your network 24/7, spotting weak signals before teachers notice
  • Apply updates and patches automatically, often overnight
  • Perform routine health checks, so printers and servers behave

Most trusts see 20–30% savings on their annual IT costs versus break-fix, and experience almost zero unplanned downtime—so lessons start on time, every time.

Outsourcing vs. Building In-House IT

Hiring your own IT team sounds appealing, but consider the full cost:

  • Recruitment: adverts, interviews, agency fees
  • Salaries & benefits: pensions, training budgets, holiday cover
  • Licences & tools: enterprise security suites, monitoring platforms

One full-time role can top £45,000 a year before you buy software. With HiltDigital’s managed IT services, you get a whole team of experts, best-in-class cloud solutions, and flat-rate monthly fees—no surprises, no hidden line items.

Jargon-Free Security for Schools & MATs

Handling pupil data, exam results, staff records—your trust is a prime target. Here’s how we keep you safe, simply:

Managed Cybersecurity

Your digital guardian:

  • Next-gen firewalls and constant threat monitoring
  • Instant incident response, so small alerts don’t become big breaches
  • Compliance support for GDPR and DfE guidance

User Training

Teachers and office staff aren’t tech experts. Our friendly sessions cover:

  • Spotting phishing and fake invoice emails
  • Creating strong, memorable passwords
  • Safe browsing and data-handling habits

Ransomware Protection & Backups

Imagine a ransomware attack locking down your attendance records the day before Ofsted arrives. With HiltDigital:

  • Automated, encrypted backups several times a day
  • Versioned restores to roll back clean data instantly
  • Off-site vaults isolated from live systems

Cloud Solutions Designed for Education

The cloud isn’t just for big business. For schools and trusts it means:

  • Flexible resources: boost server power during online exam periods
  • Lower hardware costs: no more ageing on-premise servers to maintain
  • Anytime access: lesson plans and registers from home, staffrooms, or away days

Whether you need a managed Office 365 for Education rollout, a secure VPN for remote learning, or a private cloud for sensitive student data, we build solutions around your timetable.
