Technology for everyone who supports children’s outcomes.
SEND caseworkers getting plans to children on time. Schools with secure, well-managed IT. Admin teams freed from paperwork so teachers can teach. We work across the education landscape — from council SEND teams to multi-academy trusts to individual schools.
Three ways we support education
Different problems, different entry points. Pick the one that matters most to you.
Get EHCPs to children on time
EHCP Genie is live at 40 councils. 80% drafting time saved. 4,000+ children supported. The leading AI product for statutory EHCP drafting — no competitor has this at scale.
SEND detailsSecure, managed IT for schools
We run IT for 96 schools across Sefton — service desk, M365, identity, safeguarding tools, content filtering. If your trust or LA needs a responsive schools IT partner, we have the proof.
Schools IT detailsFree up admin so teachers can teach
Aberdeen City Council freed the equivalent of 14 extra teachers by automating admin across council tax, social care, and school operations. £1.4m in savings. 18,000 hours of admin eliminated.
Automation detailsEHCP Genie: the leading AI for statutory SEND
40 councils are live with EHCP Genie — production AI for statutory EHCP drafting. Caseworkers get 80% of drafting time back. No competitor has this at scale. 113 remaining addressable authorities haven’t adopted yet.
Northumberland reported a 60% time saving, with caseworkers reclaiming 50 hours in the first four weeks.
North Somerset used EHCP Genie to address a 95% rise in EHCP demand without increasing headcount.
Annual Review Genie extends the SEND suite with AI-assisted EHCP Annual Reviews and linked evidence — available as a bundle from £57,600.

“I do not think I can go back to not using the Agilisys EHCP tool — I have become reliant on it now.”
— SEND Caseworker“The tool makes our plans more consistent between the team.”
— SEND Caseworker, Northumberland CC“I have been able to spend less time writing which means I can spend more time communicating with the family.”
— SEND Officer, EssexThe SEND crisis isn’t slowing down
SEND deficits projected at £5.9bn by March 2026. EHCP timeliness nationally at 46%. A 103% increase in EHCP numbers since 2017. 84% of caseworkers can’t do their job in expected hours. Over £100m spent on failed tribunals in 2023 alone. Councils need tools that work now — not pilots that report next year.
We’ve published 6+ articles on SEND reform, attended the Education Select Committee Call for Evidence at Portcullis House, and partner with the SEND Network. Our right to win in education runs through SEND.
Schools IT at scale: Sefton
We run IT for 96 schools across Sefton — all key stages, primary through secondary. The contract is worth approximately £15m over a 5-year term, procured through the TS3 framework.
This is a managed service, not a product. 24/7 service desk with tailored service levels for each school. M365 governance, identity management, SIMS administration, safeguarding tools, and content filtering — the full operational stack a school needs to run safely.
For multi-academy trusts or local authorities looking for a schools IT partner: this is our proof that we deliver education IT at scale, with the regulatory awareness that schools require.

DfE Cyber Security Standards are mandatory
From 2025, schools and trusts must meet the Department for Education’s Cyber Security Standards — including Cyber Essentials certification. Many schools don’t have in-house security capability.
CloudShield maps directly to these requirements: endpoint security, detection and response, identity protection, and compliance monitoring. The same security operations we run for councils work for schools and MATs — per-user-per-month pricing, G-Cloud procurement, no multi-year lock-in.
Aberdeen: 14 extra teachers’ worth of admin freed
Aberdeen City Council deployed RPA across council tax, social care, and school administration. The result: £1.4m in savings, 18,000 hours of admin eliminated, and the equivalent of 14 extra teachers freed to focus on children rather than paperwork.
The child plans automation was shortlisted for Computer Weekly’s RPA Project of the Year and presented at the Scottish Education Summit as best practice.
This is automation that delivers measurable ROI for education — not a technology project, but a way to get time and money back into the classroom.

Multi-academy trusts: centralised IT, shared services
MATs need what councils have needed for years — centralised IT management, shared service desks, consistent security, and modern workplace tools across multiple sites. The infrastructure and operating model are the same.
We deliver this for councils already. ModernWork 365 provides managed M365 across your trust — identity governance, endpoint management, collaboration, and Copilot enablement. CloudShield adds security operations that meet DfE standards. Both are per-user-per-month and procurable via G-Cloud.
If you’re a MAT looking for a technology partner who understands multi-site public sector operations, we should talk.
