Built by people who have worked in schools.
ParkerTech was founded by Joseph Parker, who combined a decade of teaching with IT management and software development to build tools schools would actually use. Today the company delivers ready-made products, bespoke builds and IT support for schools and multi-academy trusts.
ParkerTech is based in Rochester, Kent, and works with schools and trusts across the UK. Every project runs to a written scope and is invoiced against a purchase order.
What we believe about school technology
School technology works better when its makers know the job.
Every product and build starts from how a school actually runs: the timetable, the cover list, the marking pile and the data return. Tools are designed with the staff who will use them, not handed over at the end.
Less time on admin, more time for the work that matters.
The measure of a good system is the time it gives back to teachers, leaders and support staff. If a tool adds clicks without removing work, it has not done its job.
How a project runs
Four steps from first conversation to live system, so you know what happens next and what it will cost.
-
Discovery call
A free 30-minute call to understand the problem, the people involved and what a good result looks like.
-
Scoped proposal
A written scope with a fixed price or day rate, so your finance team knows the cost before work starts.
-
Build and pilot
We build in stages and pilot with the staff who will use it, adjusting as we go.
-
Handover and support
Training for the people using it, and support once it is live.
What school leaders say
“The standard of Joseph's work is exceptional. He has expertly supported the school to automate a wide range of systems and processes that have resulted in significant efficiency improvements, whilst freeing up leaders to work strategically and be that all important visible presence around the school. No task has proven too small or insurmountable for Joseph, and the quality of creativity, support and guidance he has provided is simply outstanding. Thank you Joseph.”
