Orchid has been providing ICT solutions to the education sector for over 11 years. In this period we have developed an excellent understanding and partnership with local education authorities such as the Derby L.E.A. and understand how vital it is to provide solutions that are not only the best for now but the best for the future. Because each school is totally different we understand the importance of tailoring IT solutions to fit each one, be it a primary school on a low budget to a new academy needing the latest in technology. Orchid partner with Naace who are the professional association for those concerned with advancing education through the appropriate use of ICT.
