Webinar - Future Ready Schools: Sustainability Through Technology and Estates Leadership

We invite all MAT and School Leaders to join us for 30 minutes each half term as we bring you the very latest news in Education Technology.

This session focuses on digital sustainability and how schools and trusts can use technology, estates management, and strategic leadership to reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and support environmental goals.

As budgets remain under pressure and expectations around sustainability continue to grow, leaders are increasingly looking for practical ways to modernise infrastructure, reduce energy consumption, and maximise the value of existing resources. This webinar will explore how smart decisions around cloud technology, device management, energy efficiency, and estate planning can deliver both financial and environmental benefits.

• Explore how technology and estates strategies can work together to reduce operational costs.
• Learn how schools and trusts are leveraging cloud technologies to improve efficiency and reduce infrastructure overheads.
