Education Connectivity

Croft partners with top-tier providers to deliver fast, secure, and reliable education connectivity. This ensures your school, multi-academy trust or college benefits from networks that are designed for modern digital learning, empowering students to reach their full potential.

Having robust connectivity in place for interactive and collaborative learning is essential for modern classrooms in the digital age. Schools, MATs and colleges that continue to struggle with outdated networks and tools could easily face their students falling behind.

Croft offers a wide range of education connectivity services that can be tailored to your school’s individual needs, helping to transform your pupil’s educational experience. Our network solutions provide performance and resilience, allowing for uninterrupted learning. If you require ultrafast or flexible broadband, leased lines, or Starlink should you have limited or unreliable internet, Croft has the right option for you.

The DFE’s digital and technology standards for schools, MATs, and colleges are completely met by our education connectivity and network services. This ensures you have the right digital infrastructure and technology for WiFi, switches, and cabling, keeping your network secure and cost-efficient.

With Croft, your teachers can harness the latest technology to create a connected and collaborative digital environment that helps learners to become their best selves.

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.
