Over 100 schools already connected on our GigaFast project!
We have great plans for our Broadband and Online Services Bundle!
More bandwidth, new safeguarding features and emergency backup broadband.
As laptops and tablets are becoming widespread across school, the provision of high-speed, reliable, filtered and safe connectivity to support pupils' learning, teaching and the management of your school are a must!
Therefore, we have developed a project that can help!
