Zero upfront school route
A route designed to avoid a large upfront device purchase landing on the school budget.
Edge education programmes
Make the numbers work before the first device is ordered.
Edge turns device choice, VAT treatment, cashback, funding routes, repair cover, spare pool and training into a leadership-ready model before the school commits.
Programme design
The strongest programme is credible in the classroom and credible in the budget meeting.
Edge builds the commercial model around device numbers, year groups, platform choice, accessories, warranty, repair flow, spare pool, VAT treatment, cashback availability and funding routes, so leaders can see the full picture early.

Leadership-ready proposal
Give governors and SLT a model they can understand.
We turn the device, finance, access, support and training elements into a clear programme proposal rather than leaving the school to piece together supplier quotes.

- Spare pool and repair assumptions.
- Parent communication route.
- Cashback and VAT notes.
- Training and digital strategy support.
Eligibility built into the model
