Why it matters

The Department for Education requires every school and college in England to meet a set of digital and technology standards by 2030. They cover six core areas:

  • Broadband connectivity
  • Wireless networks
  • Network switches
  • Digital leadership and governance
  • Filtering and monitoring
  • Cyber security

Since 1 September 2025, Keeping Children Safe in Education has strengthened the requirements on digital safety: filtering and monitoring systems, cyber resilience and active leadership responsibility.
