Leadership
Leadership Strategy - realising your vision and plan.
Having a clear vision and plan is key to a successful iPad or Mac deployment in your institution. We work with key staff members to develop a structured plan and timeline, identifying areas for improvement and prerequisites to ensure the right level of support at various milestones in the deployment and enhance your vision and plan.

Capacity
Potential capacity of people, programmes, and systems to grow, develop, implement, sustain, and expand.
Team
A team of innovators keep staff, students, and parents engaged by mapping out and implementing the vision.
Community

Customer Story
Booth Wood Primary School
The Apple Distinguished School in Leicestershire has reported a boost to teachers’ mental health and wellbeing following the roll out of a school-wide 1:1 iPad initiative, supplied and supported by Apple Authorised Education Specialist, KRCS.
Financial Sustainability
We know that financial sustainability is important when a school considers the best value available within their budget. Longevity and value are frequently used in conversations we have with schools and careful planning can help to deliver on this.
Finance
Affordable classroom technology with a monthly subscription guarantees a lower average cost and gives you the flexibility to build your ideal school bundle, you can even alter it to suit your changing needs. Combine with our Managed Service to give your school complete technical and financial peace of mind.
Refresh & Recycle
A FirstClass Subscription Plan from KRCS allows schools to refresh and recycle technology, building in our expert technical deployment, training and Managed Services, without the high capital cost. Trading in, could also bring down the cost of a new class set of iPad or a suite of Mac models for your school or institution.
1:1 schemes
Leasing schemes give tailored funding to help you get a device into the hand of every child. At the end, the school can choose to take ownership of the goods and optionally offer them to parents or to return the devices to the lease company (title fees apply).
Insurance
Mobile devices can be more vulnerable to accidental damage and theft than those permanently kept in the school. KRCS are FSA registered and provide insurance policies with unlimited claims and £0 excess for iPad and all other devices.
