Case Study – St Georges Academy

Casio Projector Range

Signature Series

“One of the very few products that I

would happily endorse:” Jamie Hirst

– ICT Services Director, St George’s

Academy.

New Casio XJ-M Signature range

provides enlightened learning

experience whist dramatically

decreasing costs:

St George’s Academy is a thriving,

specialist academy in the heart of

Lincolnshire excelling in the provision

of Maths and Computing to over

2,200 students across two sites in

Sleaford and Ruskington.

In the classroom, modern and

emerging technologies take a key

role in teaching methods with useful

innovation being key to life at the

Academy.

Jamie Hirst is the ICT Services

Director for the Academy operating

in a team of seven and is responsible

for recommending and procuring

integrated ICT to positively enrich the

classroom experience. As such, when

a Casio model of a new hybrid Laser/

LED projector appeared back in the

summer of 2010, and having worked

with lasers previously, Jamie knew

that what had been announced was

nothing short of revolutionary enabling

the move away from the resource

draining conventional lamp-based

projectors. He elaborates. “The minute

you switch on a conventional bulb

based projector, degradation in the

brightness of lumens starts.

Prior to the new Casio projectors

being deployed, we not only had

to factor in the high cost of new

bulbs every 3 years, at the cost of

£200 each, we also had to consider

the ongoing maintenance cost of

cleaning out ﬁlters on a monthly

basis, which is no longer required

with the Casio projectors.”

Jamie contacted Casio and the

ﬁrst GreenSlim Casio XJ-A model

was dispatched. Such was the

positive response when in operation,

that an order for the remaining ﬁve

rooms in the Language Centre

followed immediately.

It made sound ﬁnancial and

teaching sense to deploy LED/

Lasers throughout the Academy and

the decision was made to replace all

the projectors. Casio had enhanced

the model range further with the

arrival of the new Casio XJ-M140.

Each Casio XJ-M140 arrived with

a no quibble 5 year or 10,000 hour

hardware and light source warranty,

which Jamie envisages will last the

Academy many, many years before

each projector needs replacing.

The remaining units were installed

in all the Academy’s classrooms

throughout the summer vacation

and their lightweight frame slotted

seamlessly into the existing ceiling

mounted brackets.

When the Academy returned in the

Autumn term, staff instantly reported

a marked difference in their teaching

experience. Lectures were no

longer interrupted with staff ﬁddling

with blinds and adjusting projector

settings in order that the whole class

could see the lesson properly.

As you would expect in such a

forward thinking environment,

the Academy has a strong Green

Policy and strives wherever possible

to reduce energy and carbon

overheads, demonstrating

efﬁciencies. Part of the Signature

Range, the Casio XJ-M140 boasts

75% reduction in energy costs,

using less than 1 watt of electricity

in standby mode and contains no

mercury for disposal considerations.

Jamie concludes. “We stand proud

of our heritage of deploying really

useful technology that produces an

enhanced learning experience for

the children and staff and give us

signiﬁcant reductions in the cost of

ownership deploying a far superior

product. As a technology Academy,

we stand extremely proud of this

installation and technology choice

and it is a solution I am happy to

put my name against.”

Leading Maths and Computing Academy, St Georges, adopts

hybrid Laser/LED Projectors throughout the Academy:

“We stand proud of our heritage of deploying really

useful technology that produces an enhanced learning

experience for the children and staff and give us

signiﬁcant reductions in the cost of ownership

deploying a far superior product.”
