Communications and Connectivity

Maintain seamless communications and connectivity for your educational institution with tailored services that help your staff and students to thrive.

Book a meeting

We ensure that staff and students stay connected efficiently, regardless of their location or device. Our communications and connectivity for education services are tailored to fit the requirements and budget of your institution.

It’s important that staff and students can connect and collaborate in a way that suits them. Having outstanding communications connectivity for education in place makes everything and everyone perform at their best. Reliable communications and connectivity are essential whether you’re a teacher allocating resources, a student engaging in a lesson, or office staff managing administrative tasks.

Croft provides a variety of communication and connectivity services that are simple to integrate with your existing devices, including PCs, laptops, tablets, and phones. No matter if your establishment needs a cloud-based setup or technology hosted on-site, Croft can create a system that works for you.

Our communications and connectivity tools work with apps you will already know well, like Microsoft Teams, Outlook, and Google Docs. Because you already know these apps, there’s no steep learning curve, just access to smarter ways of working.

For all these features to work smoothly, it’s important to have a reliable internet connection. We offer affordable broadband and high-speed dedicated lines that ensure your school stays connected without the frustration of slow or unreliable WiFi holding lessons back.

Testimonials

What our education clients say

The support they provided in rationalising the infrastructure and then, very carefully, relocating to the new office was invaluable. A safe pair of hands both metaphorically and literally!

NEC

Paul Cooper, Head of Technology

The staff were happy using Mitel technology from the outset. The only thing I regret is that we didn’t do it sooner! Mitel and Croft solutions are very responsive, and I would highly recommend them.

Gloucestershire College

Shane Elliot, Network Manager

The whole team at Croft have been very helpful and made the transition of our telephone system support very smooth. I would recommend Croft to any other schools and organisations.

The King's (The Cathedral) School

Paul Lennon, ICT Systems Engineer

Croft always goes the extra mile to help us solve a problem. They know our school’s needs and balances with our budget. Very bespoke service—we feel Croft are completely behind us and we are getting the best of what is available to us.

Downshall Primary School

Ian Bennett, Headteacher

We just had a new phone system installed at our school. The team from Croft – both from the planning and execution side—were faultless. Great people to deal with, who ensured installation was during half-term to provide minimal disruption. Thoroughly recommend Croft!

Mary Exton Primary School

Glen Papworth, Finance Officer

We love Croft! (especially Eileen). We have used them for years and wouldn’t dream of moving. We recently updated our phone systems across our trust; the process was so smooth, and the engineers were lovely and knowledgeable. Speaking with everyone across the team is always a joy, and our account manager, Eileen, is the nicest person in the world. She’s always at the end of the phone if we need anything and recommends things she thinks we would be interested in. The recommendations are always helping us to streamline our business and services we provide.

Genesis Educational Trust

Ellen Hanley, Office Manager

We have been dealing with this company for a number of years. We have found them to be helpful, polite, and knowledgeable. They persevere in finding solutions to challenges and are willing to work with us to tailor the system to our needs. The engineers know our site well, and the account manager maintains a helpful overview.

Sisters of Jesus Way (Convent)

Sister Louise

As a school, we have worked with Croft for a number of years. I always look forward to speaking to Eileen, our accounts manager. Eileen is professional, courteous, and friendly; she, along with all her colleagues that I have dealt with, are very helpful and go above and beyond. Thank you Eileen, Simon, and Kevin.
