Independent schools strive to provide students with the highest quality learning experience. As the cost and pace of technological change continue to accelerate, flexible and sustainable ways to access modern learning tools are more important than ever.
Leasing your technology and other equipment through the specialists at Quadrent is a cost-effective, adaptable alternative to outright purchasing enabling you to equip your students and teachers with cutting-edge devices, while preserving your school’s financial flexibility and focus on educational outcomes.
1. Affordability and budget management
Leasing allows your school to access brand-new, high-quality equipment like laptops, tablets, and other learning tools, by removing the burden of large upfront costs.
Instead, you spread expenses over manageable monthly payments, freeing up budget for other strategic priorities such as staffing or facilities.
2. Access to the latest technology
Technology evolves rapidly, and regularly refreshing devices is critical to avoid having obsolete technology in your school. However, turning devices over on a regular schedule can be expensive.
Leasing makes it easier to regularly upgrade devices, ensuring your students benefit from the most current tools, platforms, and software - especially in areas like science, art, and digital media.
3. Reduced maintenance and support downtime to maximise learning time
Outdated or unreliable devices cost more than just time -they disrupt learning. By regularly upgrading your classroom devices to the latest technology, students and teachers don’t have to spend time troubleshooting or waiting for tech to boot. As devices age, they don’t perform as seamlessly as when they were new.
With newer devices in classrooms, performance issues are dramatically reduced and staff frustration is minimised.
4. Flexibility and customisation
Leasing solutions through Quadrent can be tailored to individual needs, meaning you can customise the devices and other equipment your students and teachers need to succeed.
If your school uses Google Classroom for example, or your staff prefer a certain brand for their laptops, Quadrent’s education leasing solution means you get to choose your suppliers. We’re fully independent and vendor-neutral and can work with any supplier you choose. If you’re looking for guidance, we’ll help you choose the right products for your school’s curriculum, infrastructure, and pedagogy.
5. An environmentally responsible solution
Leasing promotes a circular economy by extending the life of devices through reuse and responsible recycling, which lessens your school’s impact on the environment.
Quadrent emphasises sustainability by ensuring leased equipment is refurbished and reused where possible, and our robust e-waste disposal process ensures used devices don’t end up in landfill where they can leech harmful chemicals into the soil.
Quadrent’s end-of-lease service includes refurbishment and certified e-waste disposal, all covered in your leasing agreement, so there’s no more outdated tech gathering dust in storage, and no hidden costs for responsible disposal.
