I am super impressed with Lourdes IT and everything they have done for us. Through the school closure and prior they have gone above and beyond. Their staff have been so helpful and professional throughout.

We have worked with Lourdes closely over the last few months. Frankly, the support from Lourdes has completely underpinned the exceptional distance learning offer that we have been able to provide to our students. I have found the whole organisation to be efficient and extremely well organised. They resolve issues in a swift and professional manner in order to enable teaching and learning to continue with the school. I'm excited to be working with Lourdes in terms of the future of IT within the school .
I just wanted to pass on my appreciation for all that you and your team have done over the last few weeks providing advice, structure and framework within which the school can operate.
I wish to express my thanks to your team member for her patience, as well as for the team’s previous work on building the server protocols that allowed prompt recommencement of service following a power outage.
Lourdes offer an extremely professional and personable Service to us. The technicians are very knowledgable and solution driven. No job is too big, no request too small. Their responses are efficient and there is always someone available to chat. The remote access is a great feature for fixing things on the spot! We enjoy a very positive and rewarding relationship with a Lourdes who are a great asset to our school business.
Lourdes IT have been amazing during the whole COVID 19 situation. They have always been there to support at a time when we have never had as many school staff, pupils and parents accessing our school systems. They have been positive, efficient and proactive in resolving any issues that we have had. Thanks and well done Lourdes IT!
What can I say about Lourdes. They have been superstars when it comes to supporting our school. Through their professional manner, their quick response times and their brilliant positive attitude to help any ICT based situation, I have nothing but positive things to say. Thank you Lourdes for providing us with a strong ICT base to enable us to provide our pupils with first class teaching learning.
Our transition to Lourdes has been seamless this year and the support offered by both the on-site technicians and helpdesk amazing. Our experiences during lockdown would have been very different without the support you had given us to upgrade our hardware & also to begin using Office365 more efficiently. We look forward to successfully launching the Pupil Device Scheme with our older children in September. Thank you all.
Lourdes IT have been nothing but outstanding during the difficult times we have faced the past few months. Supporting staff, students and parents whilst continuing to move forward with new projects. It's a pleasure to work with a team that you have complete confidence in and that are always friendly and proactive.
Matt and the team are amazing. They work tirelessly to ensure the day to day running of our school is not hindered by technology. There are no challenges, big or small that they won't attempt to solve and there is always a friendly voice at the end of the phone. During this recent period of huge uncertainty, they have continued to be there for us; remotely, in person and by telephone and the service is always excellent. Thank you 🙂
I also wanted to say how impressed our staff have been with your team this week. It’s been a pleasure to have them around and the faith that everyone has that our issues we’re experiencing with our IT will be sorted. The level of disruption we’ve been experiencing would normally have my staff ‘knocking my door down’, whereas they have complete faith that your team care and will help to get the issues resolved.
I logged my initial issue at 09:03 yesterday and Justin replied at 09:05. The issue was then completely resolved by Dan this morning. I am very impressed by both with the speed of resolution and explanation provided. Thank you.
Lourdes IT have been instrumental in allowing us to bring our ICT strategy to life and as a result to realise significant savings through implementation of both hardware and software as well as management of procurement and purchasing
We have found Lourdes IT to be supportive, reliable and approachable Since having them manage our school’s IT system our problems have reduced significantly. Whenever we do have an issue, it is dealt with efficiently, quickly and effectively!
The teachers at BMS are delighted with the IT resources and support they receive to enable them to deliver the curriculum
Moving to Lourdes IT was a seamless transition. I have confidence our ICT will run smoothly on a daily basis, I no longer worry about ICT issues as I know any problems will be sorted immediately.
Lourdes IT are a supportive, knowledgeable, professional and very friendly team
Technicians are always polite and try to help ASAP. My IT knowledge is limited but they are patient and usually understand my problems or requests! I know you've been extremely busy since COVID lockdown and migration to O365 so sometimes there has been a delay in response times but in the main an efficient service.
Lourdes IT staff are always approachable, friendly and supportive. Nothing is too much for them. Matt and his team have been absolutely amazing throughout COVID supporting both staff, students and parents. Thank you all for everything you have done and continue to do.
It is often glossed-over that supply teachers need full and immediate communication to operate effectively. Lack of IT access and support is instantly problematic and frustrating and allows so much of the school's previous good work to slip through the net. Ridgeway Academy and Lourdes were great from the get-go and any queries I've had were dealt with through the logging/messaging system.
