Connect the Classroom

Connect the Classroom is an investment funding programme run by the Department for Education (DfE). The current programme offers eligible schools, an upgraded wireless networking solution to improve their IT infrastructure. This will provide infrastructure equipment and set up to help schools meet the latest Wi-Fi 6 standards.

Hollingworth Learning Trust have been working with ICT partners to bid for funding across 4 sites and we are pleased to say all sites have been approved, tenders are now being submitted and we are waiting for DfE approval to start work.

Once completed all schools will have benefitted from a significant investment in their networks and wireless access systems providing 100% coverage at Wifi6 standards. Coupled with the investment the schools have made on their internet connections and new high-speed firewalls the ICT offering in schools will exceed any expected requirements for years to come.
