Our engineers have extensive experience working in schools, colleges, and universities. We understand safeguarding requirements, Ofsted expectations, and the critical importance of minimising disruption to learning. Every project is delivered with education compliance and student safety as top priorities.
All our engineers working in educational environments hold enhanced DBS certificates, ensuring complete compliance with safeguarding requirements. We understand school protocols, sign-in procedures, and work within your safeguarding policies to ensure student safety throughout our installations.
From initial site survey through to final handover, we manage every aspect of your cabling project. We coordinate with school leadership, IT staff, and facilities teams to ensure installations proceed smoothly during holidays or after hours. You'll receive regular progress updates and comprehensive documentation upon completion.
We build long-term partnerships with schools and academy trusts, offering ongoing support, maintenance, and network expansion as your institution grows. Our clients benefit from our understanding of their infrastructure, making future upgrades faster and more cost-effective whilst ensuring consistent service delivery.
Common questions about education cabling installation projects and our services.
Educational cabling must comply with BS EN 50173 structured cabling standards, Building Regulations Part B (fire safety), and BS 8488 (educational buildings). We ensure all installations meet GDPR network segregation requirements, DfE safeguarding standards for filtered internet access, and provide complete documentation for Ofsted inspections and compliance audits.
Absolutely. We specialise in scheduling installations during school holidays, weekends, INSET days, or after-hours to ensure zero disruption to teaching and learning. Our project managers work closely with school leadership teams to plan installations around the academic calendar, complete noisy work outside school hours, and ensure classrooms are ready for the start of term. For urgent projects, we can work in isolated areas during term time with minimal impact.
Yes, we work extensively with multi-academy trusts (MATs) to deliver standardised network infrastructure across multiple schools. Our services include trust-wide cabling specifications and standards, fibre optic connections between academy sites, centralised network management architecture, phased rollouts across multiple schools, and unified documentation for all trust sites. This approach reduces costs, simplifies management, and ensures consistent IT service delivery across the trust.
Yes, our CAT6A structured cabling provides the bandwidth and reliability required for simultaneous online examinations, 1:1 device programmes with hundreds of concurrent users, video streaming and conferencing for remote learning, cloud-based educational software, and collaborative learning platforms. We design networks with Quality of Service (QoS) prioritisation, redundant paths for examination-critical systems, and sufficient capacity for future growth in digital learning requirements.
Network segregation is critical in educational environments. Our installations support separate VLANs for student and staff devices, filtered internet access for safeguarding requirements, guest WiFi isolated from school systems, and secure connections for examination systems and assessment platforms. All cabling is labelled and documented to make network segregation management straightforward for IT teams, ensuring ongoing compliance with DfE safeguarding standards.
All cabling installations include manufacturer warranties of up to 25 years on materials and workmanship, detailed certification testing reports using Fluke DTX/DSX analysers, as-built CAD drawings showing all cable routes and outlets, labelling schedules for every network point, and O&M (Operations & Maintenance) manuals. These documents are essential for Ofsted inspections, insurance compliance, and demonstrating robust safeguarding systems.
Yes, we regularly upgrade legacy CAT5e installations to CAT6A for increased bandwidth, replace copper backbones with fibre optic for multi-site connectivity, add new network outlets in refurbished classrooms, install PoE cabling for interactive displays and IP devices, and expand networks for new buildings and portacabins. We survey existing infrastructure, plan upgrades during holidays or weekends, and ensure new cabling integrates seamlessly with existing systems whilst meeting current educational standards.
Yes, we have extensive experience delivering cabling infrastructure projects funded through DfE capital funding streams including CIF (Condition Improvement Fund), SCIF (School Condition Allocation), and capital grants. We provide detailed specifications and costings for funding bids, work within DfE procurement frameworks, deliver projects on time and on budget, and provide comprehensive documentation for audit and compliance requirements.
