This partnership represents an important step forward in strengthening our digital infrastructure, ensuring that staff and pupils across our five schools benefit from reliable, secure and responsive IT support.

Drift IT (www.clickdrift.com) brings a strong understanding of the educational sector and the unique challenges faced by schools. Through this collaboration, all Synergy schools will have access to professional IT support that enhances day‑to‑day operations, supports teaching and learning, and enables schools to make effective use of technology.

Supporting Teaching, Learning and Leadership

• The collaboration with Drift IT will ensure:
• Improved reliability and performance of IT systems across all schools
• Timely technical support for staff and pupils
• Enhanced cybersecurity and safeguarding of digital systems
• Strategic advice to support the ongoing development of digital learning

By working with a single, trusted IT partner, the Synergy School Partnership can ensure consistency of service, improved communication and a proactive approach to managing IT needs.

Strengthening Collaboration and Efficiency

As with all Synergy initiatives and service agreements, this collaboration reflects the Partnership’s commitment to shared services, efficiency and sustainability. By working collectively, schools benefit from economies of scale, improved value for money and access to specialist expertise that may be difficult to secure independently.

The move also supports school leaders by reducing the operational burden associated with IT management, allowing them to focus more fully on educational outcomes, staff development and pupil wellbeing.

A Shared Commitment to Excellence

Executive Strategic Business Leader, Stefanie Ough, commented:

“We are delighted to be working with Drift IT to support all schools within the Synergy School Partnership. Reliable and effective IT provision is essential in modern education, not only to support learning but also to ensure schools operate smoothly and securely. This collaboration reflects our commitment to working with high‑quality partners who understand education and share our values of collaboration: Compassion, Respect, Ambition and Trust”.

Looking Ahead

The Synergy School Partnership looks forward to developing a strong and productive relationship with Drift IT, ensuring that technology continues to support innovation, collaboration and high standards across all our schools.

This collaboration is another example of how the Partnership works collectively to strengthen provision for children, staff, parents and governors, ensuring our schools are well supported now and in the future.
