Case Study: Newtown Primary School transforms learning with RM Education

How one Primary School in the West Midlands put technology at the heart of their school turnaround

Newtown Primary School, a small primary school in the West Midlands, was working from a difficult starting point: it was in special measures, had slow broadband, outdated desktops and interactive whiteboards, and limited technology access for pupils, especially during the pandemic. The school needed a more reliable, modern approach to support teaching and learning, and turned to RM Education for help, including RM Unify.

RM Education helped the school move to a new technology setup built around RM Unify, a new server, modern policies and procedures, superfast connectivity, online safety software, and laptops and Chromebooks that replaced old desktop machines. The result was a system that “just works,” with remote monitoring and support resolving many issues before staff noticed them, faster logins, better remote access during lockdown, and much greater confidence and enjoyment among pupils and staff.
