The support they provided prior to the project and throughout has been tremendous. Both Tony and Darren had a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge that they brought to the table and shared with us. They provided excellent online training (due to COVID) for all school staff. Since implementation their technical support is very efficient.
Steve Beard found Cloud Design Box:
- Moderately improves teaching efficiency and productivity“They have assisted in the moving of resources from the school network drive to One Drive and SharePoint. They have built an infrastructure in Share Point for shared resources to be saved.”
- Moderately reduces teacher workload“The use of Teams for meetings”
- Slightly saves school money“In the long term the moving to the cloud should be cheaper than the use of local servers. The initial cost is more expensive.”
- Moderately improves school processes“Sharing of resources via Teams. Use of share point and power automate for requests etc.”
- Does not significantly improve parental engagement“Unfortunately due to Microsoft not providing parent accounts to either Share Point or Teams, this has decreased parental engagement. Our previous use of Class Charts for example allows parents to access the system.”

Cloud Design Box is an incredible solution for SharePoint and Teams. We as a MAT were already well versed in SharePoint but the Cloud Design Box systems made everything more streamlined and easy to use. As a MAT Cloud Design Box is one of our first considerations for any new Secondary or Post-16 institution.
Zac Rushton found Cloud Design Box:
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“COVID-19 remote teaching was made vastly easier at Trinity Academy Halifax by our Cloud Design Box environment. As a MAT with multiple secondary schools, Trinity Academy Halifax ran the smoothest through the COVID-19 lockdown.”
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“Cloud Design Box presents Microsoft's features in an easy to access method for teacher's to get ahead on their work. Our Teachers don't personally exercise this ability just yet, but it's clearly there.”
- Significantly saves school money“As a direct replacement to our old VLE system, Cloud Design Box was instantly a saving.”
- Moderately improves school processes“Cloud Design Box provides a flexible environment that we can use for several day to day processes. Our Cloud Design Box environment houses all of our form time resources and makes them easy to access.”
- Moderately improves parental engagement“Parents have been supervising their children from home and as such have been using our environment with their children. While parents don't access anything themselves, we've received feedback from parents regarding layout and satisfaction with the environment.”

I have already recommended cloud design box for their high quality and professional product and I would do so a million times over.
James found Cloud Design Box:
- Significantly improves teaching efficiency and productivity“The ability to set work within teams that students can quickly and easily access from anywhere has streamlined teaching for all staff. Teachers can plan their lessons from anywhere- even on the bus in some cases! The additional tools Microsoft have implemented like immersive reader have also had a huge impact on SEN students”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload
- Moderately saves school money
- Significantly improves school processes“Collaboration and sharing for staff is far easier when everything is online and easily shareable.”
- Significantly improves parental engagement“Especially since lockdown parents have seen the fantastic site and the lessons that have been put on our portal and know that we have put thought, effort and care into what we are delivering to their child.”
