ICT Services and Support for Schools

Wavenet is one of the UK’s leading education technology specialists. Across cloud, communications, network services, hardware and more, we can help your school or Trust deliver the best possible learning experiences, every single day.

Cloud Services

The events of the past few years have shown just how important it now is for schools and MATs to have access to digital education platforms. Ensuring that students can learn at home just as well as they can in a classroom is a top priority, particularly as connected apps and services continue to become an integral part of the education experience.

Communications

With a Trust-led education system starting to become the norm, schools need to be able to communicate easily and effectively with one another on a daily basis. What’s more, as schools continue to grow, so too does the need to deliver critical information to parents and staff at scale.

Network Services

Network services are the backbone of the modern education environment, providing the connectivity needed to empower collaborative interactive learning. Outdated networks and connections are a blocker to success, preventing schools and MATs from capitalising on the next-generation tools and apps that are helping to redefine the nature of learning.

Cyber Security

With threats continuing to mount, cyber security has become one of the most pressing technology challenges facing MATs and schools today. Whether they’re looking to gain access to sensitive information, bring down critical services, or something else entirely, cyber criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated both in terms of the techniques they use and their ultimate end goal.

Support Services

We pride ourselves on delivering technology that is both easy to use and dependable. At the same time, we know that MATs and schools sometimes need a little extra help with realising the true value of their technology investments. That’s why we also offer a range of support services that stretch from specific applications through to general consulting.

Audio Visual

Modern Audio Visual (AV) equipment augments the learning experience, helping teachers engage with students and spark their imaginations. From interactive learning experiences that make it easier for pupils to absorb key information quickly, through to podcasts and audiobooks that bring learning to life in whole new ways, the right AV equipment can play a critical role in delivering better outcomes for all.

DfE Digital & Technology Standards

Align with the DfE’s guidance for a safe, innovative learning environment.

In January 2024, the Department for Education (DfE) updated their guidance on digital and technology standards for schools and colleges. These guidelines enable education providers to make informed decisions about their technology, leading to safer, more cost-efficient practices, and new, improved learning opportunities for students.

The DfE have set out the following Digital & Technology standards and the minimum requirements that your school needs to meet:

  • DfE Cyber Security Standards
  • DfE Broadband Internet Standards
  • DfE Network Switching, Cabling & Network Standards
  • DfE Cloud Solution Standards
  • DfE Filtering & Monitoring Standards
