New or refurbished? The right choice depends on your school. Refurbished devices can cost 30–50% less; new devices may suit demanding workloads. Consider lifespan, security, warranty and whole-life cost. Guide: everythingict.org/resource/ref... #DeviceRefresh #RefurbishedTech #Sustainable #EdTech

AI in schools should be judged on more than outcomes and time saved. 🔹Are pupils’ data protected? 🔹Has bias been tested? 🔹Can parents understand its use? 🔹Is there human oversight? 🔹Does it align with KCSIE 2026 and safeguarding controls? Responsible adoption starts with these checks. #KCSIE

Plastic Free July is a useful prompt for schools to ask: What is the packaging footprint of our ICT purchases? Ask suppliers about minimal, recyclable packaging, bulk deliveries and take-back options. If it is not in the specification, it may not affect the outcome. #SustainableIT #PlasticFreeJuly

When device replacement is driven by failure rather than planning, costs can build up quietly. Older devices may mean more support time, emergency purchases and lost teaching time. The summer break is a good time to review your device estate and plan before failure forces the decision.

Summer is a useful time to review long-term digital priorities. DfE expects schools and colleges to work towards meeting six core technology standards by 2030. A simple start: rate each area as met, partly met or requiring action, then prioritise the gaps. #SchoolICT #EdTech

IT hardware pricing and availability remain under pressure for schools and trusts. Rising device costs, shorter quote windows, longer lead times and limited stock guarantees are making refresh planning harder. Windows 10 remains a factor for some, but early planning matters for all. #SchoolIT

With the half-term break behind us, many schools are now firming up plans for ICT projects during the longer summer break. From network upgrades and device refreshes to telephony and infrastructure work, summer is a key window to get things done. What ICT projects are you planning? #SchoolICT

Everything ICT @everythingict.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

As half-term ends, it is worth asking how well your school’s systems would cope if something went wrong. Cyber resilience is about more than technology. It is also about people, processes and checks being ready when needed. A short review now can help identify gaps and support faster recovery.

As schools prepare for the landline switch-off, the main phone system may not be the only risk. Alarm systems, lift phones, entry systems and payment terminals can all rely on analogue lines. Identifying these hidden dependencies now can help avoid disruption later. #SchoolIT #PSTNSwitchOff
