In a statement, it announced its full-year profit will fall below current market expectations, citing a weak final quarter ending 30 September.

It said some schools are "decreasing the amount of their core budgets they allocate to ICT expenditure".

The company's shares fell 44 per cent to 197.5p yesterday.
