Cyber security isn’t just an IT issue—it’s a leadership responsibility. Schools are prime targets for cybercriminals, and the consequences of an attack can be massive. It’s not just about protecting data and networks; it’s about keeping your staff, students, and the entire school community safe.

How St Nicholas School Took Charge of Their Cyber Security

That’s exactly what St Nicholas School did, and the difference has been incredible.

With our help, they made the smart move to switch to the cloud. And this wasn’t just about locking down data—it completely changed how they work. Now, their information is safer than ever, collaboration is effortless, and teaching and learning run more smoothly. Everyone—staff, students, parents, and even external partners—benefits from a secure, adaptable, and stress-free digital environment.

Cyber Security: A Smart Move for Your School’s Future

We know that cyber security can feel like an IT problem. But the truth is, it’s a leadership decision. It’s about taking action now to protect your school before a problem happens. A strong cyber security strategy means peace of mind, less downtime, and a safer environment for everyone.

Windows 10 is reaching the end of its life this October, which means no more security updates. If your school or organisation is still running on Windows 10, now’s the time to start thinking about the switch. But here’s the catch—not all older devices are compatible with Windows 11; that’s where we come in.

We’ve got some essential tips to make your transition as smooth (and stress-free) as possible—while keeping everything DfE compliant.

Step 1: Check Your Current Devices

First things first—figure out if your existing devices can actually run Windows 11. Microsoft’s PC Health Check tool is a handy way to see if your kit is up to spec; if you need help with this get in contact with our team.

Step 2: Let Us Do the Hard Work for You

If your devices aren’t compatible, no need to stress. Our procurement team has already done the legwork and found a range of Budget, Value, Premium, and Desktop options so you don’t have to spend hours searching. Just tell us what you need, and we’ll make sure you get the right devices to keep your school or organisation running smoothly—all while staying within DfE guidelines.

Step 3: We’ll Handle the Rollout

Once you’ve got your new devices, we’ll help make the switch seamless. Our team can manage the rollout, ensuring minimal disruption while keeping everything secure and DfE compliant.

And that’s it! Follow these steps, and you’ll be on your way to a hassle-free transition. If you need help along the way, get in touch with our team—we’ve got your back!
