Connecting and Protecting UK Education
MLL understands that schools and multi-academy trust (MATs) across the UK face increasing pressure to deliver secure, high performance digital learning environments while staying compliant with the Department for Education’s (DfE) latest standards. Reliable, safeguarded connectivity is no longer a luxury; it’s an essential foundation for teaching, safeguarding and administration.
With these challenges in mind, MLL believes, more than ever, schools need a partner who not only understands these challenges, but also actively helps them meet and exceed compliance. That’s why we’ve introduced a dedicated Schools Team. A group of experts focused solely on supporting educational institutions, from single primary schools to multi-academy trusts (MATs).
Our role is to simplify the complexity of compliance, safeguard digital learning, and build the kind of resilient networks schools need to thrive today and in the future. Whether this entails designing a Trust-wide WAN, ensuring alignment with DfE network, Wi-Fi and KCSIE security standards, or delivering social value through digital inclusion programmes.
Standards
The DfE’s digital and technology standards are becoming stricter, with new requirements around firewalls, filtering, resilience, and service uptime.
Cloud-ready
More schools are embracing cloud platforms, online learning, and integrated MIS systems, all of which rely on dependable, high-speed broadband.
Safeguarding
There’s greater awareness of the need for safeguarding through technology, filtering inappropriate content and securing networks from cyber threats.
