Bett Show 2025: helping schools and trusts become more connected and collaborative

Darren Hemming

As always, Bett Show 2025 proved to be a fantastic event for Cloud Design Box, offering an incredible opportunity to connect with educators, school leaders and our EdTech partners. 

It was an amazing opportunity to showcase how our solutions can transform communication, collaboration, and learning experiences for schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs). 

We demonstrated how schools and MATs can harness the power of Microsoft 365 to improve communication, streamline administrative tasks, and enhance teaching and learning experiences. Our team engaged with educators, showcasing how we help institutions create a central SharePoint intranet hub that fosters collaboration, reduces workloads, and ensures consistently high-quality learning resources.

Work Smarter in Class Teams 

One of the key themes of our presentations was the ability to centralise teaching resources in Microsoft Teams. Our “Work Smarter in Class Teams” session highlighted the time-saving benefits of streamlining content storage, reducing duplication and making teaching workflows more efficient. Educators walked away with practical tips on maximising the potential of Class Teams to support teaching and learning. 

Onboarding Schools Made Easy in Microsoft Teams 

Managing growth and supporting new schools in a MAT can be challenging.  

In our “Onboarding Schools Made Easy in Microsoft Teams” session, we demonstrated how Cloud Design Box’s tools simplify the onboarding process for new schools and staff, ensuring a smooth transition into Microsoft 365 environments. By centralising resources and standardising workflows, MATs can accelerate their digital transformation and enhance communication across schools.

Tech User Labs: Improving Literacy with Microsoft Reading Coach 

A major highlight of Bett Show 2025 was our participation in the Tech User Labs, where our Training Lead Keith led a session on “Improving Literacy with Microsoft Reading Coach.”  

This Microsoft Learning Accelerator uses AI-generated reading passages to help students practice pronunciation and refine their literacy skills. The session showcased how educators can leverage Reading Coach to support struggling readers, ensuring personalised and effective literacy development.
