IBS Schools and Entrust Support Services announcement
IBS Schools have been part of the wider Capita organisation for over 5 years and during that time we have been able to grow our business, both in terms of the products we offer and the geographical areas that we support.
To continue this growth, and with greater emphasis on being able to offer a wider range of educational services, the IBS Schools team has now joined the Entrust Support Services part of Capita.
Who are Entrust Support Services?
Entrust is the education division of Capita that works closely with schools, academy trusts and Local Authorities to provide specialist expertise, ensuring every child and young person:
- receives a good education
- is in a safe and healthy environment
- and is given expert guidance to realise their full potential
One of its key businesses is Entrust EdTech. They deliver a wide range of IT services to over 2,000 schools from bases in Birmingham, Staffordshire, West Sussex, Essex and now Worcestershire, and aim to be the leading provider of EdTech services, solutions and expertise to the education community.
Our priority is to enable learning organisations (early years, schools and academies) to get the most from their investment in technology, by supporting safeguarding objectives, whole site development and improving learning outcomes for all. In the ever-evolving world of education and technology, Entrust EdTech offers quality, choice and a seamless suite of cost-effective services tailored to meet its customers’ needs and requirements.
What happens next?
Now that we have joined the Entrust family, we will be working on a rebrand exercise and our name will change to Entrust EdTech. You will still be supported by the same team that you know and trust, backed by the wider Entrust team.

We are excited to tell you more about our plans and to work closer with each of you, and so over the coming weeks you will receive further communications from the wider Entrust EdTech team, as they begin to make your acquaintance.
For now, don't forget to register to attend the IBS Schools Showcase on Thursday 30 April 2020. You can learn more about the Entrust EdTech business, our future plans and meet key members of the extended team. To join us, please visit www.ibsschools.com/showcase-2020 to register your attendance.
We look forward to continuing to support you in the future.

Simon Smith (Managing Director, Entrust Education Technologies) and Judy Price (Head of IBS Schools).
