The Unicorn School shares success with classroom.cloud
Recorded from Bett UK 2026, NetSupport is thrilled to share a new video case study featuring The Unicorn School, a specialist school in Abingdon dedicated to supporting young people with neurodiversity.
In the featured interview, Sallie Greenhalgh, Trust Lead for Digital Learning and Innovation, explains how classroom.cloud has “revolutionised” their approach to student safety and digital learning.

Enhanced safeguarding for 1:1 learning
With students using 1:1 devices both in school and at home, maintaining oversight is a critical challenge. Sallie highlights several ways the platform has transformed their safeguarding protocols:
- Real-time alerts: As the Trust Lead for Digital Learning and Innovation, Sallie relies on email alerts triggered by the system to identify potential risks immediately.
- Home-school partnership: The platform’s monitoring capabilities extend beyond the school day. Sallie shares a recent example where she was able to alert parents to a Year 9 pupil using their device at 12:15 AM on a school night – a situation the parents were completely unaware of.
- Proactive monitoring: classroom.cloud allows teachers to see exactly what students are doing on their devices during lessons, significantly reducing off-task behaviour.
Empowering neurodiverse students
For a school specialising in neurodiversity, the transparency of the tool is a major benefit. Sallie notes that simply knowing they are being monitored helps students stay focused on their work rather than drifting to distracting sites like YouTube.
“Revolutionary, safe, and easy”
When asked to summarise the impact of our solution, Sallie described it as “revolutionary,” “keeping kids safe,” and “easy to use”.
The ease of implementation and the high level of support from the NetSupport team were also cited as key factors in the school’s success.
