1. The School
Osborne Co-Operative Academy Trust is a multi academy trust made up of twelve schools, including one junior, eight primary, and three secondary. Built on the values of international cooperation, the Trust is all about creating a global community where individuals can thrive together.
2. The Requirement
The Trust’s IT team were struggling to find a classroom PC that ticked all the right boxes. They wanted something affordable, robust, tamper-proof, and secure, but also visually appealing for the classroom environment. Many all-in-one solutions looked great on paper but just weren’t practical, they were too fragile, too costly to repair, or simply didn’t suit a school setting.
3. Our Solution
After spotting our Slim PC in an email, the team decided to visit us at the Bett Show to take a closer look. What they found was a neat, classroom-ready solution that could be converted into an all-in-one setup using our custom mounting kit. The Slim offered the right balance of durability and performance, powered by a solid CPU and GPU combination. It came with supportive feet and a lockable cable shroud, making it a practical and tamper-resistant option for busy school IT suites. We paired the PC with quality peripherals and added custom branding to give it a polished, professional look.
After facing challenges in finding a suitable PC for our school IT suites, we were thrilled to discover VeryPC and the Slim. It offers a clean and efficient solution that meets all our requirements. The team at VeryPC are friendly, helpful, and always willing to go the extra mile.
