The health check is an indicative questionnaire. For platform access and onboarding, request a conversation.
Record school findings and responsibilities before combining them with wider investment discussions.
Agree the organisation, sites and assessment scope.
Collect answers and evidence; keep unknown and not-assessed areas visible.
Review findings with the responsible people and prioritise improvements.
Example product view · demonstration data
Use school-level findings and projects as the evidence for a trust discussion about dependencies, phasing and funding.
This is a school-level example, not an authenticated trust dashboard. Trust access and assessment responsibilities are agreed during onboarding.
Understand scope, responsibilities and the next step before you enquire.
Agree consistent scope and review expectations first. Keep not-assessed areas visible; a missing answer should not become a positive finding or an artificial comparison score.
Access must follow the organisation and role arrangements agreed during onboarding. A public example does not grant access to any academy or customer data.
Identify the organisations and sites in scope, the people who own decisions, your available asset information and the frameworks you want to assess. Discuss any integrations or Windows-agent requirements before enabling them.

Leadership briefing
A teacher needs a new app. The office needs a replacement laptop. A parent asks about online safety. These requests may all involve IT, but they need different people to help.
Article
The Department for Education's digital standards cover many parts of school IT. You do not need to understand every technical detail before using them. Start with a school need and involve the colleagues who can check it.
Practical guide
A three-year IT budget should help colleagues understand what the school needs, when it needs it and what the likely costs include. It can do that without a complicated scoring model or a list of unexplained specifications.
Tell us about your organisation, priorities and any existing IT partner. We review your enquiry and pass relevant details to our distributor, who can coordinate a suitable partner or handle larger customers directly.
We will discuss scope and onboarding before access is arranged. This request does not book a demo or activate an account.
