Classroom365

Classroom365 is a United Kingdom managed IT services company that works exclusively with the education sector. Based in the London Borough of Southwark, it provides ICT support, managed IT services and related technology services to schools, academies and multi-academy trusts (MATs). Its stated purpose is to keep technology working smoothly in classrooms, reduce disruption to learning, improve staff efficiency and make digital access easier for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The company positions itself as more than a technical fixer. It combines onsite technicians, remote helpdesk support and senior IT consultants with practical advice grounded in long-term education experience. Its services span day-to-day ICT technical support, helpdesk and onsite support, Wi-Fi and networking, broadband, filtering, cyber security, classroom technology, device procurement, software licensing, print management, school websites and management information system (MIS) migration and integration support. It also offers financial solutions such as leasing options for services and ICT hardware, and works with schools, MATs and local education authorities (LEAs). Classroom365 is an approved supplier on the Government Commercial Agency TePAS 2 framework (Lots 6 and 8), formerly administered by the Crown Commercial Service. It states that it has supported schools for 22 years, that its staff are enhanced DBS-checked, and that it holds ISO 9001, 14001 and 27001 certifications as well as Cyber Essentials Plus. The company says it is trusted by more than 200 schools and MATs. It is led by Paresh Ghedia, Mark Friend and Pritesh Ghedia, who between them bring decades of IT experience across schools, local education authorities and the British Council. Many staff members have been with the company for over 10 years, which the company presents as a source of continuity and experience. Classroom365 describes itself as independent of MIS vendors, helping schools understand how their MIS fits within the wider IT environment rather than promoting a specific platform. It supports schools considering migration away from legacy systems such as SIMS towards cloud-based platforms like Arbor and Bromcom. The company is headquartered in Southwark, London, and operates across the UK education market.

Classroom365 is an established IT support company based in the London Borough of Southwark. According to its own materials, it has been supporting schools for 22 years, which places its origins in the early 2000s, though the exact founding year is not stated in the available evidence. The company was built around a single-sector focus: providing ICT support and managed IT services exclusively to schools, academies and multi-academy trusts, rather than serving a broad commercial market. Over time, Classroom365 expanded from day-to-day technical support into a wider range of education technology services. Its current service catalogue includes helpdesk support, onsite technical support, Wi-Fi and networking, broadband, filtering, cyber security, classroom technology, device procurement and consultancy for education projects. It also provides financial solutions such as leasing options for services and ICT hardware, and software licensing including MDM solutions, Microsoft and Google at education prices. A significant development in the company's history was its approval as a supplier on the Crown Commercial Service TePAS 2 framework, where it is listed for Lot 6 and Lot 8. The Crown Commercial Service has since been replaced by the Government Commercial Agency, but the framework remains an important route through which Classroom365 supports Department for Education (DfE) and local authority projects, including new school build programmes. The company also states that it is trusted by more than 200 schools and MATs. Classroom365 is led by Paresh Ghedia, Mark Friend and Pritesh Ghedia, who together bring decades of IT experience across schools, local education authorities and the British Council. The company emphasises staff continuity, noting that many of its staff have been with the business for over 10 years. It holds ISO 9001, 14001 and 27001 certifications and Cyber Essentials Plus, and its staff are enhanced DBS-checked. In recent years, Classroom365 has positioned itself as an independent adviser on management information systems (MIS), helping schools navigate the sector's move away from legacy platforms such as SIMS towards modern cloud-based software like Arbor and Bromcom. The company supports MIS migration, integration and implementation, focusing on how the MIS fits within the wider IT environment rather than promoting a specific vendor. It publishes comparison and migration guides for schools and MATs considering a change.
