RM Technology Briefing: A Strategic Guide to DfE Digital and Technology Standards

 

Coming to Birmingham, London, Manchester, Nottingham and Oxford this Autumn term.

Over 60 Trusts have registered for our workshops, make sure you don't miss out!

Join us for a free, hands-on workshop, designed to help you navigate the DfE's Digital and Technology Standards with complete confidence and clarity.

An "insightful and engaging" workshop

The deadline has been set. Trusts and schools are expected to meet the DfE’s core digital and technology standards by 2030. If you’re looking to improve your understanding of the core standards and what they mean to your trust, this is the workshop for you.

We understand that your time is valuable so this isn't a sales event. It's honest, practical guidance focused completely on the core standards, in a relaxed atmosphere, with like-minded MAT leaders.

At this workshop, you will:

  • Gain a clear understanding of the core digital and technology standards, and their critical nuances - 100% of our attendees have felt their understanding of the core standards improved thanks to the workshop.

  • Benchmark your performance against other schools and trusts.

  • Fill out and take away a purpose-built notebook with all the right information.

  • Connect with other Trust leaders to share ideas, join the conversation and discover insights to support your schools.

  • Enjoy complimentary lunch, snacks and refreshments - because we know that a steady supply of caffeine and snacks are what actually power a successful workshop.
