The summer holidays might be edging closer, but for anyone responsible for a school's IT infrastructure, September has a habit of arriving even quicker.

New students, new staff, updated systems and a fresh wave of devices all landing at once can be a lot to manage. And with cyber threats against the education sector on the rise, getting your technology in order before the new academic year begins is no longer something you can leave until the last minute.

At OX IT Solutions, we appreciate this is a busy time of year for school ICT and network teams. We work with organisations across the UK to make sure their IT is secure, well-managed and ready to perform when it matters. Here is what every school should be thinking about before the start of term.
