St John’s Church School is committed to developing a partnership between home and school to prepare children for school life. St John’s Church School encourage their children to develop a lively attitude to learning, an enquiring mind and the ability to question and respond.
We needed our printing costs tightly controlled but we were sure we were too small for a Managed Print Solution
The Great Casterton Primary School offers a happy, secure and welcoming environment with a true family atmosphere. All staff and pupils are positive, caring and optimistic - and they smile!
Existing supplier too expensive!
The Solution A complete Managed Print Solution to suit the speciďŹ c requirements of a smaller pre school
An existing printer needed updating not only to produce good quality copies but also to cut down on the cost per copy that was currently being spent. As a small Pre-School, St John’s was not sure that it would be suitable for a Managed Print Solution or receive the aftercare support required.
The Solution An improved pricing structure introduced to help the school reduce print costs and enjoy the beneďŹ ts of three top of the range Samsung printers.
Not only was Great Casterton looking to reduce their printing costs, it also wanted to feel
support whenever they needed it which ultimately would reduce printer ‘down-time’. Additionally, the current printer was out of date and regularly let them down so a quality replacement was
