Session 1 - Reinventing the Classroom - Moving Technology Necessity to Strategic Enabler

Session 3 - Beyond the Help Desk: Building a How Desk Culture in Your School

The premise is simple but powerful - shifting the IT team's role from reactive problem-solvers to proactive enablers of digital confidence across the organisation. The session would cover:

Why building digital skills across your school community matters more than ever and the real organisational impact when it's overlooked.
Practical, take-home strategies that IT leaders and managers can use to start coaching their wider teams - from simple frameworks to quick wins that get the ball rolling.
How to reframe the IT function as a trusted guide, not just a support ticket queue.

The goal is that attendees leave with genuine tools and confidence to begin driving digital upskilling in their own schools - not just inspiration, but a practical game plan.

Session 1: How to Avoid "Accidental Projects"

This presentation explores how well‑intentioned but unplanned requests can quietly evolve into “accidental projects”. We will show how we use our Technology Programme to track projects and provide a shared, realistic view of progress. We will also demonstrate how we approach resource and capacity planning, and how we decide what can realistically be delivered this term versus what must be deferred to a future term.

Session 2 - How we do Governance, Risk and Compliance at Shore
This presentation outlines our approach to Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) in Cyber Security, and how we bring multiple frameworks together to create a practical, school‑focused model known as Shore Shield. It will show how we use the Essential Eight, CIS Controls and other recognised frameworks to prioritise risk, drive consistent controls, and communicate cyber posture clearly to leadership and governing bodies.
Speaker: Richard Jones, Head of Technology Services, Shore School

Session 3 - Service first approach in Technology Services.

In this session, we’ll share how we have built a true service-first culture within our L1 helpdesk and what that looks like in practice. We’ll explore the role of our mission and values in shaping the team, and how a continuous improvement mindset helps us deliver a better experience every day.
We’ll also take a closer look at our laptop advanced replacement model, how it works, and why it has become such an effective part of our service approach.

We will look at the challenges we were faced and the steps we have taken to help address them.
