What makes education IT different
A school network serves children, staff and visitors at once, under rules that most offices never face.
Safeguarding online
Guidance for schools in England expects filtering and monitoring to be in place and reviewed regularly, without blocking legitimate learning.
Staff, students and guests
Different people need different access. A supply teacher on Monday should not see what a head of department sees.
A full building connecting at once
Everyone joins the network when a lesson starts. Coverage and capacity have to be designed in, not hoped for.
Fixed points in the calendar
Exams, enrolment and reporting leave no room for an outage. Maintenance belongs in the holidays.

Questions from schools and colleges
What business managers, heads and IT leads ask us most.
Do you work with schools and colleges?
Yes, education is one of the sectors we support. We shape the plan around the size of the organisation and how it runs its term.
Can you work around term dates?
Major changes can be scheduled for half terms and holidays, so lessons are not disrupted. Urgent faults are still handled straight away, with 24/7 support and a 15-minute average ticket response.
How do you keep student data protected?
With access controls, multi-factor authentication, email security, backed-up data and clear separation between staff, student and guest networks. Foxcomm is ISO 27001 accredited, and we work with your data protection lead on the detail.
Can you help with filtering and monitoring?
Yes. We help plan and run the filtering and monitoring that Department for Education guidance expects, and review it with you regularly.
Do you support training providers and colleges as well as schools?
Yes. We support education organisations of different sizes, from a single school to multi-site colleges and training providers.
