“Jamie was super helpful in identifying the problem with internet speeds. I have managed to test this out on the school’s server, and they have already noticed a difference.”

Introducing Schools Broadband
Overview
Through our Virtual Private Wide Area Networks, Multi Academy Trusts can experience one of the safest and most secure private network environments available.
Together with our cloud-hosted filtering and security service, every school will meet Prevent Duty regulatory requirements and every student in your MAT will be protected using one of the world’s foremost security companies, Fortinet.
Central control of your entire Trust’s IT estate means workloads are streamlined, operational efficiencies improved, and costs reduced.
Frameworks
We’re on a number of frameworks, including DfE approved frameworks, ensuring quality and compliance in procurement.
DfE guidance (April 2022) also advises failover lines for schools. These should be automatic failover lines (backup lines) to ensure 100% internet up time. Ask about the best Backup Lines for schools
and the amount you use the internet in lessons, will determine your required broadband connection speed
DfE advises that secondary schools should have a 1Gbps broadband connection as a minimum. We recommend a leased line to meet the DfE requirements

“From a security perspective, the single most impressive feature of the Schools Broadband hosted firewall service, is the amount of control we have of it on site… we have almost as much control as if we owned the firewall on-site. If we had to ring support every time we wanted a policy change, it would be a non-starter.”
