Services to Schools

The QLS ICT Team is entirely made up from qualified and experienced teachers and exists to support schools in Staffordshire with curriculum ICT. We can provide high quality consultancy on any aspects of ICT from curriculum delivery to changing the ICT infrastructure of the school. In addition to this we provide a full portfolio of courses and other professional development activities in our well equipped training rooms at the Kingston Centre, Stafford or alternatively in your own school.

The process for booking is simple:

To talk to an ICT adviser in the first instance – for example if you want to clarify the best route forward, call on 01785 277948. This number is answered by our admin supervisor, Anita Clifton, who will take the details of your enquiry and do her best to connect you there and then to an adviser. If she can’t then she will take a message and the adviser will call you back.
