Palladian Academy Trust – Partner ds. Komunikacji i Bezpieczeństwa

Palladian Academy Trust is a strong Trust based in Bath and Wiltshire that offers education from 4-19. We are proud that our schools serve different communities, some are church schools, some are non-denominational, but together we know we are better placed to ensure our pupils have the best educational experience. The Trust was established in 2016 and is named after a local landmark, The Palladian Bridge in Prior Park, a symbol of connection and unity. As a Trust, we know that each of our schools has its own distinctiveness and each one brings different strengths as an equal partner. While we recognise what each school has to offer individually, we also work together at the same time, to maximise the benefits of being part of a larger network and organisation. Being part of a Trust gives our colleagues access to high quality professional developmental opportunities, gives our pupils the chance to interact with others from different schools and provides challenge and support to Trust and school leaders through effective governance. We are proud to work in partnership with our Local Authorities of BANES and Wiltshire, our two Dioceses of Bath and Wells and Salisbury as well as other local and regional partners. We are also delighted to be an accredited delivery partner for Best Practice Network - delivering NPQ courses since 2023. Underpinning our vision for education are our values: respect, trust, courage, curiosity. We are a values-driven organisation, committed to our vision to provide excellent and equitable opportunities so everyone can flourish; in our classrooms and beyond! Our commitment, vision, values, charters and Palladian Pillars are key signposts that help us best support each other and our pupils. Our leadership and culture charters describe what is important in our Trust and the future we are all creating together. At a high level the key deliverables are: • A broadband service for each school that meets (as a minimum) DfE guidelines (Main line will be leased line for each school) • A diverse routed auto 'failover' line • A firewalled service • Filtering & Monitoring to latest KCSIE Standards • Support and maintenance service • Full end to end single SLA approach • Management of any 3rd parties required to provide the service • Relevant monitoring, management, and reporting • Full installation and transition service • Value added services • A commitment to open, transparent and timely communications with both the Trust and their IT Support provider (Medhurst) Technical interface into the Trusts outsourced support provision. From the Trust's point of view, the successful bidder should be prepared to work directly with the Trust's ICT Managed Service Provider to resolve any issues and/or requests. To all intents and purposes, the MSP should be viewed as 'part of the Trust'.
