DfE Core Standards
Is your school's network ready for the DfE 2030 deadline?
Every school in England and Wales must meet the DfE’s Core Standards for broadband, wireless and network switching by 2030. Many are further behind than they realise. We’re offering a free, no-obligation compliance audit with a full RAG-rated report.
The DfE’s Digital and Technology Standards set out clear benchmarks that every school and college in England and Wales is expected to meet by 2030 – covering broadband connectivity, wireless infrastructure, and network switching. With procurement lead times, site surveys, and installation programmes to factor in, 2026 is the critical year to understand where your school stands.
Re-solution is offering a completely free, on-site compliance audit against all 56 DfE requirements. You’ll receive a full written report with RAG status for every standard, evidence-based findings, and a prioritised action plan – with no obligation to proceed further. Our audit also assesses your eligibility for the DfE’s Connect the Classroom funding programme, which offers fully funded network upgrades for qualifying schools.
