Running IT across a Multi-Academy Trust shouldn’t feel like herding cats across fibre cables. But when every school has its own setup, vendors, and security quirks, it can be chaos.
From patchy performance and sky-high costs to safeguarding nightmares - MATs deserve more than what legacy tech can offer.
Our Secure SD-WAN solution brings all your schools together under one secure, centrally managed network. Easy to scale, easy to secure, and easy to manage.
"Every MAT wants to deliver great teaching, protect its community, and grow sustainably. The right IT strategy helps make that possible. We give education leaders the confidence that their network can keep pace with ambitions."
It’s time for a new approach...
Fewer systems, fewer vendors, one clear view of it all. That’s exactly what we’ve teamed up with Fortinet to deliver.
Stop juggling different networks and dashboards. With Secure SD-WAN, all your schools connect and communicate through one managed platform.
Head office gets control and visibility while schools get the flexibility they need. It’s the perfect balance for growth and independence.
With built-in security and automatic policy enforcement, your IT team doesn’t have to manually police GDPR or safeguarding rules - the network does it for you.
No more dropped lessons or spinning wheels. A fast, stable, and secure network means teachers spend less time troubleshooting and more time teaching.
No more chasing different vendors or juggling support tickets. One managed platform means faster fixes, smoother updates, and consistent service across every school.
As your trust grows, the network grows with you. Scalable by design, it adapts easily as new schools, sites, or technologies come on board.
Our Fortinet-certified specialists provide ongoing optimisation and proactive monitoring, ensuring your network remains resilient, compliant, and future-ready.
We’ve spent years understanding the quirks, constraints, and safeguarding priorities of the education world. We know MATs have unique challenges; that’s why every solution we design fits your reality.
As a certified Fortinet partner, we combine top-tier tech with hands-on experience. You get security and performance, configured exactly for your environment.
From consultation and design to deployment, monitoring, and optimisation, Nasstar provides complete lifecycle management.
We’re partnering with MATs to ensure IT directly supports trust-wide goals like improving teaching standards, financial resilience, and compliance.
"Watching our Clearing process take place without a hitch following Nasstar’s upgrade of our infrastructure was a very different experience from the issues we’ve faced in previous years. Now we can be confident in the knowledge that students and the general public can get in touch with us at a potentially difficult time."
