Investigation into IT shared services for education in Portsmouth

The University of Portsmouth and their partners have been awarded funding by the Higher Education Funding Council (HEFCE) to investigate and develop good practice for shared IT services across education providers in Portsmouth. This blog will track our journey throughout our project, hopefully providing a helpful resource to others in the Higher Education sector on the opportunity presented by the new legislative provisions for Cost Sharing Groups.

Our second pilot school, St Georges Primary

We are pleased to announce that St. George's Primary School will be working with us on our second pilot.

We will be helping them implement Google Apps for Education. They will be using lots of Google Apps including Classroom on 30 loaned Chromebooks for pupils in years 3 and 4.

Our Westover Primary School pilot will be ending soon, so more information on how that has gone during the new year.
