The idea of moving your IT system to a cloud-based system is not a new concept, but it is something that many schools have yet to take the plunge on.
Back in 2019, the Department for Education first published advice about moving to the cloud, both in its policy paper, Realising the potential of technology in education, and the guidance Running and managing a school. Further advice has since been incorporated into the more recent Digital Standards (DfE, 2022), which provide guidelines for implementing technology effectively.
All this guidance, along with advice from your IT provider, can help navigate the technical, financial and practical implications of moving to the cloud. But there are also non-technical, classroom-related considerations that can impact both teaching and learning that schools must be aware of.
