SOCS, a trusted leader in school sports and co-curricular management for 25 years, is proud to announce the launch of SOCS TV. This pioneering streaming platform for the UK and global education sector is the result of an innovative partnership with Joymo, providing schools with a secure, high-quality content management system to broadcast events, sports, and activities—while ensuring safeguarding, ease of use, control, and affordability.
A trusted partnership for schools
SOCS has built its reputation by seamlessly integrating with leading school management systems, portals, and specialist tools like Return2Play. Now, in response to school feedback, SOCS has partnered with Joymo—a Scandinavian-founded, UK-established company known for its expertise in media and content platforms—to create a game-changing video solution for schools.
Founded in 2017, Joymo has a proven track record of delivering tailored media platforms for sports organisations across Europe, the UK, and the USA, covering sports like netball, baseball, basketball, and archery. With this partnership, schools can now take full control of their video content—securely protected behind a registration wall. This ensures privacy, compliance, and new revenue opportunities, while enabling schools to livestream and share events, performances, and co-curricular activities on their own terms.
With SOCS TV, schools can capture content using anything from state-of-the-art cameras to mobile phones—making it easy to film on the go or during major events. The best part? All footage is securely stored on the school’s own platform, not the recording device, ensuring simple, safe, and centralised content management.
Putting schools in control
As more schools film concerts, school productions, fixtures and other key events, much of this content ends up on platforms like YouTube or Vimeo and is stored on personal devices, often without the necessary consent or safeguards in place. We know how important it is to protect children’s privacy. That’s why SOCS TV puts schools fully in control
A game-changer for school sports & events
SOCS TV gives schools a powerful new way to celebrate, connect, and communicate. By enabling secure, high-quality video sharing, it strengthens the relationship between schools and their wider communities—bringing parents, alumni, and supporters closer to everyday school life. Whether showcasing student achievements, broadcasting events, or enhancing learning, SOCS TV makes it simple for schools to share what matters most—safely and accessibly
With over 85% of independent schools in the UK using SOCS—alongside a growing number of state and international schools—we’re excited to bring Joymo’s robust media platform to the education sector. With built-in safeguarding features and complete control over content, SOCS TV offers schools a secure, reliable, and cost-effective way to share video with their wider community.
