Our Biggest Ever M.E.E.T. EdTech Conference – and what a day it was!
Aldercar High School
Transforming learning through smart, connected classrooms
The Challenge
Aldercar High School needed a complete technology refresh – fast.
Outdated infrastructure was limiting both teaching and learning, and the school required a modern, reliable environment that could support interactive lessons, seamless connectivity, and improved accessibility for all students.
Crucially, the entire transformation had to be delivered within a tight two-week window, with minimal disruption to staff and pupils.
The Solution
The project included:
New servers and upgraded broadband provision
A fully modernised telephone system
Enhanced security with an upgraded key fob access system
0
State-of-the-art smartboards installed across every classroom
0
Staff laptops to support flexible teaching deployed
0
Ceiling-mounted WiFi access points installed
0
Network switches for fast, reliable connectivity
At the heart of the transformation were the Smartboards – bringing a new level of interactivity into every lesson.
Teachers can now:
Save and revisit lessons digitally
Create interactive, collaborative sessions
Display content clearly from any angle in the room
Enable pupils to scan QR codes for instant access to homework and resources
The Impact
The results have been immediate, visible, and far-reaching.
Lessons are now more dynamic, inclusive, and engaging—supporting a wide range of learning needs and styles.
What L.E.A.D. IT accomplished within the time scale was amazing; the team were really professional, and they worked incredibly hard.
Trudy Williams, School Operations Manager
Importantly, the technology has also strengthened accessibility and inclusion:
The new Smartboard in the Deaf base has had a huge impact… we can model, brainstorm and plan together, and save work to revisit in future sessions.
Jess Harding, Deaf & Hearing Impaired Resource Facility
We’ve used it to display school messages and even song lyrics for BSL learning… it’s been a fantastic addition.
Beyond Installation
Delivering the project in just two weeks was only the beginning.
L.E.A.D. IT Services continues to provide ongoing on-site support, ensuring the school continues to maximise the value of its investment and evolve alongside its technology.
Our team worked extremely hard in a 2-week window… Having up-to-date technology within a school setting has been proven to help children’s learning.
Lee Jepson, Director, L.E.A.D. IT Services
The Outcome
Aldercar High School now benefits from a fully connected, future-ready IT environment where:
Lessons are more interactive and engaging
Homework is instantly accessible via QR codes
Staff can teach flexibly and collaboratively
Students of all abilities – including those with additional needs—are better supported
