Promethean, a leading provider of educational technology solutions, and TrilbyTV, a platform known for delivering dynamic visual content, have announced a new collaboration designed to help schools and colleges across the UK simplify and strengthen communications.
Announced in Clitheroe, UK, in September 2026, the partnership connects Promethean’s ActivPanel D-Series and ActivPanel 10 displays with TrilbyTV’s centralised content management platform. Schools, multi-academy trusts, further education colleges, and campus IT teams often struggle to share timely, relevant information efficiently, since traditional methods such as static signs or USB updates can create fragmented and inconsistent messaging. TrilbyTV addresses this by letting content be managed and distributed from a single platform across screens throughout a school environment, giving educators and school leaders a way to share announcements, event updates, safety messaging, and elements of school culture clearly and engagingly.
“Effective communication is essential in education environments,” said Simon Port, Sales RVP at Promethean. “Partnering with TrilbyTV provides schools with a straightforward, dependable way to keep everyone informed without the hassle of managing multiple systems or inconsistent updates. Together we’re helping schools simplify communication and create a more connected experience for students, staff, and their wider communities. At the same time, our new referral programme provides partners with an additional opportunity to support customers while growing their education business.”
“Strong partnerships are built on honesty and trust. The honesty that comes from Promethean’s years of experience in screen manufacturing and quality. The trust that comes from TrilbyTV’s focus on providing educational institutions with the best digital signage platform MADE for their needs. This partnership provides a seamless and exciting solution for years to come,” said Neil Emery, Director at TrilbyTV.
TrilbyTV has built its platform around the practical needs of education professionals, from IT teams managing large-scale deployments to leadership and operations staff focused on school culture and safety communications. It is used by more than 70 UK multi-academy trusts and holds partnerships within the Google for Education and Apple Education ecosystems, with a focus on simplicity so busy staff can keep screens updated without technical complexity.
Promethean, founded in Blackburn, Lancashire, has a long track record in interactive classroom technology, and its ActivPanel range is widely used in UK schools for teaching and learning. The ActivPanel D-Series is designed as a digital signage solution for communal areas, letting schools broadcast announcements, alerts, and information alongside interactive classroom displays. Combining these displays with TrilbyTV’s content management tools extends the value of a school’s existing technology investment beyond the classroom, supporting everyday updates such as event reminders, lunch menus, safeguarding messages, and celebrations of school life, as well as rapid distribution of urgent information when needed.
The partnership also introduces a new referral programme for Promethean’s reseller network, making it easier for existing partners to introduce the TrilbyTV solution to customers already using ActivPanel displays. This gives schools and multi-academy trusts an additional way to access the combined offering through familiar suppliers and builds on earlier collaboration between the two companies amid ongoing demand from education leaders for clearer, more consistent internal communications.
