Working in education

Education systems have to work for three very different audiences at once — learners, teaching staff and administrators — usually on a mix of institutional and personal devices with wildly varying connectivity. Accessibility is not optional here, and neither is working properly on a five-year-old laptop.

We hold no accreditation in this sector and do not claim any. Where an engagement touches a regulated activity, the obligations that apply are defined by your own legal and compliance advisers; our part is to build a system that can evidence what they require.

02Recurring problems

Problems we see in this sector

None of these is unusual, and none of them is a failing. They are what the work in this sector tends to look like before anyone touches it.

  • Separate systems for enrolment, learning content, assessment and reporting
  • Accessibility obligations that existing platforms do not meet
  • Seasonal load peaks at enrolment and results
  • Safeguarding and data protection requirements around minors
  • Budget cycles that make large replacement projects difficult to fund

Tell us how your education organisation actually works

Sector familiarity gets us through the vocabulary. The part that decides the shape of the work is how your organisation does the thing it does — which is the part we would rather hear from you than assume.

We read every enquiry ourselves. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and tell you what to look for instead.
