In today’s digital-first classrooms, schools face an increase in cyber threats, online risks, inappropriate content access and stricter safeguarding requirements. The need for robust network security has never been greater. Your network firewall is your first line of defence, but not all firewalls are fit for your school network.
The big question is do you have a firewall fit for safeguarding your school network and are you confident of its current protection?
Safeguarding in schools is about more than just compliance—it's about creating a secure and supportive learning environment.

At Evolving Networks, apprenticeships are at the heart of how we grow our people and our business. This month, we’re proud to celebrate a huge milestone for Brandon Hancock, who has successfully completed his Level 3 Information Communication Technician (ICT) Apprenticeship with a Distinction. We sat down with Brandon to talk about his journey, what he’s learned, and where he’s heading next.
“Flex for All” is about making flexibility accessible, real, and part of everyday working life. At Evolving Networks, that means creating space for parents to do school runs, for apprentices to study, for colleagues to prioritise wellbeing, and for women to thrive in technology careers. And yes, it also means welcoming the occasional wagging tail in the office — because flexibility should reflect all the ways life and work connect.
