Keep staff and student data apart.

Staff and student environments need different rules. We keep them apart, keep safeguarding evidenced, and move the servers you still run into Azure.

What schools, colleges and universities tell us.

“Students can see staff content.”

Separate governance models, sensitivity labels and hub-level sharing controls, with permissions reviewed against the audit log rather than assumed.

“Every school in the trust has its own setup.”

Multi-academy trusts often inherit one tenant per school. The cross-tenant consolidation approach we use for other sectors brings them into one estate with per-school governance.

“Our datacentre is end of life.”

Azure Site Recovery migration with hub-and-spoke networking, ExpressRoute and paired-region DR, delivered for a UK university.

“Copilot is coming and we are not ready.”

Classification first. Copilot can surface unlabelled student data to anyone who has access to it, so labelling comes before rollout.

The order we do it in.

We split the estates first, then classify the content, then move the infrastructure underneath.
