CPC member Quarrydale Academy required a site-wide roll out of fifty seven interactive touchscreens. Roche partnered with Clevertouch to deliver an award-winning future-proof solution…
The Challenge
Quarrydale Academy, an ambitious secondary school, pride themselves on the pursuit of excellence. “We want to encourage all learners to develop a love of learning and enable everyone to reach the highest standards of which they are capable,” stated Joanna Wells, Business Manager at Quarrydale Academy. “This includes academic success as well as excellence in sport, arts and culture. Students have to believe in themselves and strive for success.”
In alignment with that pursuit, the academy has undergone a significant upgrade of their audio visual infrastructure to support teachers and learning. Wells commented, “As an educator, it is our job to ensure we have the correct equipment throughout the school to reach our high expectations and ensure that students can always achieve their best.”
Before the upgrades, Quarrydale had a mixture of audio visual technology supporting students but wanted to standardise with one solution that offered them greater control. They also wanted a future-proof solution that could be used more effectively by teaching staff who previously experienced issues with existing technology thus halting its use.
Quarrydale turned to Roche Audio Visual, a Clevertouch Technologies® partner, to supply and install 57 Clevertouch M Series interactive displays. “From the outset, Stafford Lund from Roche AV was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and he quickly established our needs during a face-to-face site visit to the Academy,” said Wells. “He also arranged an onsite demo of the (Clevertouch display) and software, which gave us a feel for the quality and functionality of the screen and software. Stafford was then on hand to answer any queries we had during the tendering process but was not pushy, which we liked.”
The staff and students at Quarrydale Academy are over the moon with their new Clevertouch M Series interactive displays thanks to the following key features...

Key Solutions
Gareth Middleton, a former teacher and Clevertouch Technologies Product Specialist, delivered onsite training to all Quarrydale staff, showing them the basics as well as tips and tricks for enhancing their interactive lessons. Middleton noticed how quickly the teachers opened up to what could be done in the classroom. He commented, “The staff were very receptive, keen, and blown away by the possibilities!”
After a second training on how to use Lynx to make presentations, Quarrydale staff was fully immersed in the Clevertouch interactive solutions. Middleton said, “I enjoyed my time at Quarrydale. I was impressed with the team’s drive and enthusiasm - everyone was really on board with the solution.” Middleton later helped staff learn how to live stream videos via the interactive displays. He continues to be on hand for any queries they may have with the solution.
Benefits
Stafford Lund from Roche AV states, “Working with this ambitious school was great! They were keen to explore their options and find a solution that delivers both now and in the future. Clevertouch (technology) provides that, and the benefit of remote management and no ongoing costs makes their solutions simple for both the schools we work with and us.” Quarrydale is absolutely thrilled with the investment in the Clevertouch M Series interactive displays due to their quality, functionality, and ease of use. We eagerly anticipate more positive experiences from the Quarrydale teachers and students.
