Planning Workshops
We collaborate closely with school leaders through dedicated planning workshops. These sessions are designed to align technology deployment with your school’s educational goals, ensuring a smooth and effective rollout.
Customised Online Store
We create a bespoke online store branded with your school’s logo and colours. This store features a curated selection of pupil device bundles tailored to meet your school’s specific requirements. Parents can easily purchase devices directly from this platform, streamlining the process and ensuring compatibility with school systems.

Dedicated Project Lead
To ensure a seamless experience, a dedicated project lead will work with your school throughout the entire process. From initial planning to post-deployment support, our project lead will be your point of contact, ensuring all aspects of the service are delivered to the highest standard.
Comprehensive Device Management
Once devices are purchased, our team handles everything. We collate, enrol and provision each device, ensuring that your school’s IT team has full control and visibility. With our Managed Device Management (MDM) setup and support, you can manage devices seamlessly, enforcing school policies and safeguarding students’ digital experiences.
Device Provisioning and Protection
We don’t just provide the devices; we will ensure that your students receive their devices ready to learn. Additionally, we offer comprehensive protection cover, this includes warranty and repair services – giving parents peace of mind and ensuring students’ learning is uninterrupted.
Professional Development for Teaching Staff
When you engage with our Professional Learning Specialists – either in person or online – you receive coaching, mentoring and support that’s personalised to the needs of your educators and students.

The Digital Transformation at our schools could only have happened with Academia by our side as a partner. It would not have been possible to launch our iPad 1:1 initiative without the help and guidance from Academia.
We are now at the beginning of our Digital journey at St James schools but comfortable in the knowledge that Academia are our long-term partner.
You guys are simply the best!
