Every year we brace ourselves for September... 😅

September is always the busiest time of year for any Education IT Support Team.

Phones ringing constantly, tickets coming in from the moment term starts and schools needing support getting everything running smoothly.

Our team didn't just get through it, they smashed it. 👏

Here's what the first 4 days of term looked like:
📞 283 calls handled
🎫 509 new support tickets logged
💬 758 ticket responses sent

And the numbers that really matter:
⚡ 97% first response SLA met
🎯 96.55% resolution SLA met

The team have worked incredibly hard over the last few days and the results speak for themselves.
Really proud of the whole team. 👏

And we're only 4 days in...

Well done, Emily! 🎉

On Saturday, Emily fearlessly abseiled down the Spinnaker Tower to raise money for our chosen charity, Cash for Kids! Here are a few pictures from the day.

Well done to the whole group who took on the challenge — together they raised a fantastic amount for this important local charity, and there's still time to donate if you'd like to support them. 🙌

Today’s the day! Emily is ready to selflessly hang off the side of the Spinnaker Tower to raise money for the wonderful charity Cash For Kids! The link to support Emily is below!
Good Luck Emily ❤️

This September, our Emily will be representing Drift as she takes on the challenge of abseiling over 100m down the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth to raise money for Cash for Kids!

Emily is really pleased to be supporting Drift's chosen charity again and would be incredibly grateful for any donations, no matter how big or small. Every contribution will help make a difference.

After a summer of projects, upgrades, and installations, it's time for classrooms to come alive again.

We hope you've had a brilliant break, found time to switch off, and are heading back refreshed for the new academic year. As pupils return through the gates, the Drift team will be right there in schools too — supporting teaching and learning every step of the way.

Here's to a great term ahead for staff and students alike.

Thursday and Friday were all about learning, development, and team building.

On Thursday, we took part in an excellent safeguarding training session, with a specific focus on the role and responsibilities of IT technicians working within school environments. A huge thank you to Jon Le Fevre from Le Fevre Safeguarding & Leadership Solutions for delivering such an insightful and informative session.

Friday was all about team building and having some fun together. We spent the day at MeetspaceVR in Guildford, enjoying an incredible virtual reality experience. From flipping burgers and battling zombies to taking on a full-scale Space Marine mission against killer aliens, there was something for everyone!

It was a fantastic couple of days that not only enhanced our knowledge and skills but also strengthened the bonds within our team.

The summer holidays have finally arrived! After another busy academic year, we'd like to thank all our schools for their continued support. While we'll be busy delivering projects over the summer, we hope everyone enjoys a well-deserved break. See you in September😊

Another fantastic night on Friday at the PETA AZ Awards 2026, celebrating apprentices and apprenticeships 👏

The Drift team had another great outing, being shortlisted for five awards, with Sarah also presenting on the night.

We were especially excited to learn that Emily had been shortlisted for Apprentice of the Year — a huge achievement in itself.

Emily brought home the win for Best First Year Apprentice! This is so well deserved after all the hard work she’s put into her Business Admin Level 3 apprenticeship, and we couldn’t be prouder of her.

It’s an incredible achievement to be shortlisted, and we’re hugely proud of everyone who was recognised 👏
