New Assembly Hall SCS installation at Glengormley Integrated PS.

In Spring 2025 Glengormley IPS decided it was long overdue to upgrade the second hand data projector which had been installed in the school assembly hall some years ago.  The school had been gifted a second hand projector from QUB almost a decade ago and was now on its last legs! The school had been using a white cloth curtain pulled across the back of the stage as a screen to project onto.

SCS were contacted and attended the school to discuss and audit what could be done to help.

SCS delivers pedagogical solution to Regent House Grammar School

After many years of using Promethean interactive whiteboards with great success, the time came to look at the latest education technologies available, which led Regent House to SCS and the Promethean ActivPanel. The school piloted the ActivPanel with maths and immediately recognised its pedagogical benefits. The positive results of the pilot led to an accelerated rollout of the technology school wide.

With almost 100 panels now installed by SCS, the IT team has successfully integrated them within the school network and found Promethean Panel Management to be a valuable and time-saving tool when it comes to maintenance. Click here for full report.
