IT firms are stepping in after Rotherham Council announced it was pulling the plug on tech support for schools, leaving some in a “panic.”

Studysafe and others are hosting an Edtech Showcase to help headteachers and business managers find replacement services including broadband, email systems, finance software and on-site support.

The authority is ending its Schools Connect service in March because of falling numbers, expected to hit 54 next year, down from 109 last year.
