What better way to start 2025, than with a New Year's resolution?

Technology is no longer a mere tool, it’s the foundation upon which modern academies and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) are built. Whether it’s ensuring compliance with safeguarding standards, enabling flexible learning, or equipping students with future-ready skills, technology has become a strategic driver in education. However, managing this increasingly complex environment comes with its own set of challenges, especially for CEOs and heads of academies.

The Importance of Technology Audits in Academies

Understanding the current state of your IT infrastructure including compliance is essential. A technology audit provides a clear picture of what’s working, what needs improvement and where you could save on costs, helping you make informed decisions about your academy’s future tech investments.

Our January and February offer is £1,499 + VAT for a booked technology audit in January or February. This entails a pre-visit questionnaire (completed by the senior leadership team and the IT lead), one full day onsite with one of our Education IT consultants meeting with your senior team and IT Team, which will provide you with a comprehensive report and presentation slide deck for your senior leaders, trustees and governors.
