The Department is developing a core set of digital and technology standards to support schools and colleges to understand their digital environment and know what technology they should have in place. These standards can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/meeting-digital-and-technology-standards-in-schools-and-colleges.

The Department has released standards on connectivity, cyber security, filtering and monitoring, cloud, and servers and storage. These will help schools save money and ensure secure teaching environments. The Department is currently working with technical experts, schools and colleges to develop standards on devices, accessibility and IT governance which is planned to be published by early 2024.
