Digital Strategy

In an age of rapid technological change, the challenge for schools is not simply to adopt new tools, but to ensure that technology serves learning—and not the other way around.

We bring a decade of proven leadership in digital transformation, rooted in education, not in devices. Since 2013, we have designed and implemented digital technology strategies that are purposeful, sustainable, and relentlessly focused on improving teaching and learning.

Our experience includes leading schools to achieve and sustain Apple Distinguished School status—recognised not merely for innovation, but for embedding technology meaningfully into the fabric of pedagogy and culture.

Our expertise, however, is not limited to any one platform. We work across ecosystems to ensure that strategy is driven by educational purpose, not brand allegiance. The question is never which device, but what kind of learning.

We understand that few schools have the resources to appoint a full-time digital strategist. Azimuth offers a more flexible approach: providing access to deep expertise and tailored strategic leadership as and when it is needed.

Whether working alongside an existing digital lead or supporting senior leadership directly, we bring the insight, experience, and clarity required to design and sustain a digital strategy that truly elevates learning—without the commitment of a permanent appointment.

Our approach is simple but powerful:

– Pedagogy first, technology second
– Purpose before platform
– Sustainable strategy over short-term novelty

Using Technology in the Classroom

The goal of this book is to help teachers integrate technology seamlessly into daily practice so that technology is used almost reflexively, effectively and without fuss.

It also provides guidance on how to integrate this methodology and way of thinking across your school as well as training other teachers to successfully choose and use the best technology for their subject and their students.
