Complete Internet Management for Schools
Broadband4’s Fully Managed Internet solution removes the complexity of managing school connectivity. We handle everything — from web filtering and firewall management to 24/7 monitoring and reporting.
With Netsweeper at its core, your solution includes PREVENT compliance, IWF-certified categorisation, granular filtering by age group, and detailed reporting for Ofsted and safeguarding teams.
Our team of engineers and support staff are UK-based and education-focused, meaning you’ll never speak to a call centre that doesn’t understand schools.
