What Our Learning Cloud does

Our Learning Cloud is a Newcastle upon Tyne-based education technology provider that delivers cloud, IT, and training services to UK Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) and individual schools. Founded in 2019 and structured as a MAT-owned, MAT-developed company, it was created by an academy trust to address fragmented IT spend, inconsistent technology adoption, and cybersecurity gaps across multi-school organizations. Its core offer is a Digital Transformation Subscription sold in three tiers (Foundation, Growth, Transformation) starting at £250 per school per month, complemented by à la carte Managed IT Services (MSP), one-off consultancy engagements (Financial Efficiency Checks, AI Readiness Vetting, Security & Cyber Essentials, Power Apps Custom Solutions), and bespoke training in Microsoft 365, accessibility tools, and Power Automate/PowerApps.

The technology foundation is the Microsoft 365 and Azure ecosystem, including the Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps), supported by the firm's status as a Microsoft in Education Global Training Partner. Service delivery spans remote strategic engagements (Virtual CTO, workshops, help desk) and on-site training and audits. No proprietary AI models, patents, or research assets are disclosed; AI is surfaced to customers via advisory and through Microsoft Reading Coach.

Commercially, Our Learning Cloud operates a direct, consultative sales motion targeting MAT leadership and IT decision-makers, with no self-service or e-commerce channel. Recurring subscription and managed-services revenue is supplemented by project-based one-off fees. The customer base spans UK MATs and schools, with named enterprise logos including Greenwood Academies Trust and BDAT, and mid-market references including Danesholme and Bishop Creighton Academy. Operations are domestic only, with offices in Newcastle upon Tyne (headquarters) and Nottingham.
