ADNS Education

Company Overview

This Primary School, originally founded in 1574, has gone through many iterations in its years to stay up to date with the latest technology and teaching methods.  As well as continually improving the learning environment the school has undergone a complete redesign of the curriculum to incorporate technical-based learning.

The learning is not limited to the pupils, the school has put an immense level of importance on the training and development of the staff utilising the latest technology and teaching methods.

 Problem

As the school continues to grow and moves towards more technical based learning, a number of additional iPads have been introduced causing the existing WI-FI to struggle due to the increased traffic and access now required.

Solution

ADNS installed a new cost-effective Enterprise-Grade Wi-Fi solution that delivered complete coverage across the school along with faster access. This has ensured that the school can make best use of the additional investment made in supplying Ipad’s as a learning tool for children.

Working with ADNS

ADNS have been working with this school for close to half a decade, helping them stay up to date with the latest technology. Over the years we have provided dedicated leased lines, laptops, smart TVs, updated the firewalls and so on, all with the same objective, to improve the learning environment for the children and staff members and ensure effective IT security at all times.  We will continue with our goal of improving the schools’ technical capabilities as we continue to work closely with them.

Benefits

• Complete WiFi coverage
• Faster internet access
• Improved technology access

Company Overview

Formed in 2016, this large primary school within Teesside offers outstanding educational services to a local village and its nearby communities. As part of a local Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) based in the North-east of England, ADNS has been working with the school for the past couple of years to ensure all their IT requirements are met.

Problem

The school had been selected for the DfE Connect the Classroom program and needed assistance in completing the application to ensure that the complete funding criteria was presented to improve the overall IT infrastructure for the school.

Solution

ADNS assisted from application to design and delivery. As a result, the entire process had been completed within a few months. The school now has an enterprise grade infrastructure and WiFi Solution funded by the DfE, which has enhanced IT performance throughout the school. In addition, the entire IT Comms area was rebuilt to make management of the system simpler for the school moving forward.

Working with ADNS

ADNS have made a significant difference for the school and Trust. Through effective IT planning we can now plan budgets, upgrade IT systems, and modernise technology initiatives much more effectively. As a result of this project, they have appointed ADNS as their Data Protection Officer for the whole Trust and we find the work between the compliance team and technical team a real advantage in ensuring the Trust has an effective Cyber Security and Data Compliance strategy in place.
