Strengthening Digital Skills in Dorset’s Schools


Dorset’s Digital Skills Partnership continues to champion digital upskilling, cyber resilience and STEM engagement across schools, councils and local businesses. The initiative reflects a clear regional priority: ensuring young people are equipped with the digital knowledge and confidence they need for the future workplace.


For schools, this presents both opportunity and challenge.


While there is growing emphasis on coding, cybersecurity awareness and digital literacy, many schools face stretched IT resources, safeguarding responsibilities and limited internal expertise to fully support these ambitions. Delivering strong digital education requires not just devices and software, but secure, reliable infrastructure and knowledgeable support.


That’s where the right IT partner makes a difference.


At Soltech IT, we support schools across the South West with:


  • Secure and resilient network infrastructure
  • Proactive cybersecurity monitoring and safeguarding support
  • Independent ICT reviews and development reports to identify improvement areas
  • Professional development and guidance for school leadership teams
  • Practical advice on integrating digital skills initiatives safely and effectively
  • Plus we can provide a selection of loan Computing Curriculum and STEM resources (Gadget, Games, Devices, Applications and Lesson Plans/Projects) for FREE to schools.


As regional momentum around STEM and digital capability continues to grow, schools need technology that is dependable, compliant and aligned with their educational goals.


Digital skills begin with digital stability. By ensuring systems are secure and well-managed, schools can focus on teaching, innovation and preparing students for a technology-driven future.


If your school is reviewing its ICT strategy or looking to strengthen cyber resilience, Soltech IT is here to help.
