Clear alignment with DfE standards
The DfE has 12 digital technology standards, and they are ever-changing. Our product and service designers work directly with the DfE to ensure all of our services are built to these standards. Your schools can rest assured that we’re always watching what the DfE is asking for.
Confidence that schools are properly supported
Technology is essential for teaching, learning, and safeguarding — but it can also be complex. Councils rely on us because we specialise in education technology. They know that every school, trust, and college they support will receive expert guidance, reliable services, and solutions designed specifically for the education sector.
Reduced pressure on internal teams
Many councils simply don’t have the capacity to manage the technology needs of dozens (or hundreds) of schools and colleges. By partnering with us, they can free up internal resource, reduce administrative burden, and focus on strategic priorities rather than day-to-day IT issues.
Clear, predictable, and cost-effective options
We offer a range of ready-made service packages as well as fully tailored solutions. Councils appreciate the flexibility — and the opportunity to reduce costs by consolidating services through a single, trusted provider.
Added value for the whole community
Beyond the schools, we ensure that councils and their communities benefit from a partnership with us. As more schools choose our services through the council’s catalogue, we reinvest in the community by offering:
-
Lower base costs
-
Free or subsidised training sessions
-
Webinars on emerging education and technology topics
-
Community events and learning opportunities
Trusted by local authorities across the UK
For nearly a decade, our schools have benefited from the Council’s partnership with RM to provide internet access, network security and management, web content filtering and single sign-on utilities. Thanks to RM’s Connectivity services we are keeping up with the latest developments in IT while achieving good value for our schools. Our RM Partnership Manager has been flexible and understands our unique requirements well.
