Streamlining school procurement with Skolon Store

For many schools, the digital toolkit resembles that of a pencil case belonging to an excitable 9 year-old who went wild in Smiggle. If you can’t relate, in simple terms, digital toolkits have become a fragmented collection of separate logins, manual spreadsheets, and mystery invoices.
The Skolon Store was created to replace that chaos with a streamlined, transparent ecosystem designed specifically for UK education.

The power of “try before you buy”

One of the biggest risks in EdTech procurement is investing in a tool that doesn’t resonate in the classroom.
The Skolon Store eliminates this risk with its built-in demo function.

For certain apps and if their school permission permits, teachers can launch trials directly within their Skolon collection, allowing for authentic testing with their classes.

ICT coordinators can then monitor these trials to see which tools truly add value before a single license is purchased.

“Automagic” access and assignment

The gap between buying a tool and using it is often filled with administrative hurdles; manual account creation, CSV uploads, and password resets.
Skolon removes these barriers through “Automagic” assignment.

When a tool is ordered, the platform automatically handles access and data sync for the relevant users. Teachers and students get immediate access, and IT teams get their time back.

Data-driven budgeting

Transparency is the key to a sustainable digital strategy.

The Skolon Store provides a comprehensive order history based on individual cost centres.

When combined with Skolon’s data visualisation, leaders can see not just what was bought, but how it is being used. This ensures that budgets are directed toward the tools that are actually driving engagement.

A world of learning in one place

With over 5,000 digital resources, e-books, and apps from leading providers, the Skolon Store offers a curated marketplace for every subject and age group.
By centralising procurement, schools gain more than just efficiency—they gain the security of knowing their digital ecosystem is compliant, cost-effective, and classroom-ready.

This is Skolon – we gather the best digital educational tools and make them work in the classroom.

Skolon is an independent platform for digital educational tools and learning resources, created for both teachers and students. With Skolon, accessing and using your digital educational tools is easy – security increases, administration decreases, and there’s more time for learning.

The digital educational tools come from both small and large providers, all of whom have one thing in common – they create digital educational tools that are beneficial for the school environment.
