A School Telephone System Built Around Education
Schools have very different communication requirements from most businesses. From managing absence calls and contacting parents to safeguarding conversations and emergency communications, your telephone system needs to be reliable, flexible and easy for staff to use.
Digicomm 360 provides school telephone systems designed specifically for modern education environments. Our hosted telephony solutions allow staff to make and receive calls from compatible desk phones, computers and mobile devices while providing powerful features including call recording, voicemail to email, IVR menus and intelligent call routing.
With over 20 years’ experience supporting the education sector, we understand that technology in schools must work alongside safeguarding responsibilities, data protection requirements and increasingly complex digital infrastructure.
Smarter, Safer Communication for Your School
Modern school telephone systems provide much more than incoming and outgoing calls. They give schools greater control over communications while helping staff work more efficiently and supporting safeguarding procedures.
Call Recording for Safeguarding
Securely record important telephone conversations where appropriate, providing an accurate record that can support safeguarding procedures, staff training and dispute resolution.
Intelligent Call Routing
Use IVR menus and automated call routing to direct parents and other callers to the correct department, absence line or member of staff.
Voicemail to Email
Send voicemail messages directly to designated email inboxes, making it easier for staff to manage pupil absence messages and important enquiries.
Flexible Working
Authorised staff can make and receive school calls using compatible desk phones, computers or mobile devices, providing greater flexibility when working away from their desk.

Supporting Safeguarding Through Better Communication
Safeguarding is a fundamental responsibility for every school, and communication technology can play an important role in supporting established safeguarding procedures.
Call recording can provide an accurate record of appropriate conversations, while dedicated voicemail and call routing can help ensure important messages reach the correct member of staff. Recorded information can then be managed in line with your school’s policies and used alongside established safeguarding systems and processes.
Our experience within education also means we understand the importance of working responsibly within school environments. Digicomm 360 staff working within schools are DBS-checked and trained to understand school safeguarding requirements.
The result is a communication solution designed not simply around technology, but around the realities of operating a safe, efficient modern school.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best telephone system for a school?
The right system depends on the size, structure and requirements of the school. Cloud-based VoIP telephone systems are increasingly suitable for schools because they provide flexible call routing, voicemail, call recording, remote management and the ability to scale as requirements change.
Can a school telephone system record calls?
Yes. Compatible telephone systems can record calls where required. Schools should ensure that recording, storage and access are managed appropriately in accordance with their policies, safeguarding responsibilities and applicable data protection requirements.
Can parents leave pupil absence messages?
Yes. A dedicated attendance or absence line can allow parents to leave voicemail messages, which can then be delivered to authorised staff or designated email inboxes for efficient management.
Can you support our existing school telephone system?
Depending on the technology currently installed, Digicomm 360 may be able to support and maintain an existing system. We can assess your current setup and recommend whether ongoing support or migration to a newer platform would be most appropriate.
