King Edward VI Sheldon Heath School is currently embarking on a rapid phase of significant investment and transition from traditional on-premises client-server-based computing to a Cloud-First approach using the latest Microsoft 365 technology to enable the school to pursue its strategic objectives, accompanied by class-leading pedagogy and learning. In keeping with this change, the role offered is different from that which would historically be associated with supporting a school network. There is a shift in bias towards enabling and supporting all users to fully exploit the potential that M365 has to offer as opposed to supporting systems.
The focus of the role is to standardise and simplify the provision of IT systems and services to create an infrastructure that supports the learner by providing consistency to all users regardless of location or device and which also complies with the many statutory and advisory obligations that are incumbent upon a school IT system.
