As Multi-Academy Trusts continue to scale, the demands on School Wi-Fi have never been greater. Yet many networks are still being treated as simple infrastructure rather than a strategic foundation for teaching, learning, and safeguarding.

Drawing on real-world experience designing and deploying Wi-Fi across UK schools, Certified Wireless Network Expert (CWNE) Lee Wright explores the common challenges trusts face, from inconsistent standards and legacy designs to security trade-offs and capacity constraints.

In this session, you’ll discover how a more strategic, trust-wide approach to Wi-Fi design can improve performance, strengthen safeguarding, and support long-term digital transformation while still addressing the practical realities faced by IT teams on the ground.
