Testimonials
Here’s what some of our customers say about us:
-
 William
Edwards School & Sports College: “Tools for Schools has enabled us to
improve our ICT provision by increasing student access to ICT in the
classroom. We now have two new ICT suites with 30 workstations in each,
which were easily networked to our existing NT4 network. Tools for Schools
is a cheap solution to an expensive problem.”
-
Durdens Park Primary School:
“Tools for Schools offers an excellent opportunity to reach the national
ICT computer-pupil ratio in a way that schools can afford now -– not over
a period of years.”
-
King Edward VII College:
“Tools for Schools computers have enabled the college to set up a room for
sixth form students and offer them key–skills courses. Without these
computers this would not have happened!”
-
Highgate Wood Secondary
School: “We received 50 computers used in two mini computer suites – one
for the sixth form and the other for design and technology classes. Tools
for Schools has allowed us to extend ICT provision at a time when the
curriculum demands it but the budget precludes it.”
-
Nottingham Emmanuel School:
“The machines provide an excellent low cost/high spec solution to an
expanding school with a limited budget. All our staff have asked for more
machines from Tools for Schools when funding becomes available.”
