Disaster Recovery

Disaster recovery in education is critical for maintaining safety in primary schools. Our IT services ensure that your school's operations can quickly return to normal following any disruption. Whether it's a natural disaster, cyber-attack, or technical failure,

Tiered Recovery Approach

Our comprehensive disaster recovery plan prioritises regaining access and functionality across all levels of your school community. We have developed a tiered recovery approach that ensures the most critical functions are restored first, minimising downtime and disruption.

Priority One: Senior Staff

• Immediate Access Restoration: We prioritise restoring access for senior staff, ensuring that school leadership can swiftly coordinate recovery efforts and communicate effectively with all stakeholders.
• Critical Data Retrieval: Important administrative data, including student records, staff details, and communication systems, are restored to allow senior staff to manage the crisis efficiently.
• Infrastructure Assessment: An initial assessment of the school's IT infrastructure is conducted to identify and address any critical vulnerabilities.

Priority Two: Teachers

• Educational Resource Access: We focus on restoring teachers' access to essential educational resources, lesson plans, and student performance data to minimise the impact on learning.
• Communication Channels: Ensuring that teachers can communicate with senior staff, parents, and students through secure and reliable channels.

Priority Three: Pupils

• Learning Continuity: Our final tier ensures that pupils regain access to learning materials, online classrooms, and other educational resources as quickly as possible.
