What Is Rocco Education All About?
Rocco Education insights into the people, purpose and partnerships behind the brand.
At its heart, Rocco Education is about making school procurement faster, simpler, and far more effective — for both schools and suppliers.
We started Rocco because we saw how difficult it was for schools to find the right support, and how frustrating it could be for great suppliers to reach the right decision-makers. Procurement shouldn’t be about trawling through emails, dealing with cold calls, or sitting through yet another one-size-fits-all pitch.
So, we built something different — something better.
What We Do
(And Why It Works…)
We connect schools with trusted, relevant suppliers through focused, in-person events that save time and deliver results.
But we’re more than just events. Rocco Education supports both schools and suppliers across the entire procurement journey.
For Schools
We help school leaders, MATs and clusters:
- Identify and articulate their procurement priorities
- Match with suppliers who are specifically relevant
- Save time on admin, emails, and cold outreach
- Access funding support and clear information
- Simplify decision-making across their procurement process

For Suppliers
We help education suppliers:
- Connect directly with schools that are actively looking for their services
- Present their value proposition clearly — without a hard sell
- Get feedback, build relationships & generate meaningful leads
- Access support for marketing and outreach

Why Rocco?
Let’s be honest — Rocco is a bit of a wildcard name in education.
It actually came from a Scirocco — Jess’s beloved car — but the name stuck. Why? Because it felt different. Approachable. Memorable.
And that’s what we’re trying to be:
A team that does things differently. A company that feels human. A partner that schools and suppliers can genuinely trust.
Who We Work With
We work primarily with:
- Primary schools across the UK
- School business managers, headteachers, and MAT executives
- Clusters and federations looking for smart group procurement
- Suppliers offering high-quality services to schools
- Partners who value clarity, honesty, and a bit of humour along the way
What Makes Rocco Education Different?
We’re not a marketplace. We’re not a directory. And we’re definitely not another conference with a sad biscuit tray.
We’re a team who:
- Knows how schools work (because we’ve worked in them)
- Understands what makes supplier relationships tick
- Believes that face-to-face still matters — when it’s done well
- Wants to make a measurable difference, not just noise
Final word
We’re not here to overcomplicate things. Only to help schools and suppliers connect in a way that’s fast, friendly, and focused on what actually matters.
