It's Good to Talk... especially at Education Estates!

Education Estates 2025: Talk School ICT with Novatia

As Education Estates 2025 approaches, it presents an invaluable opportunity for school leaders, architects, and construction professionals to explore how technology can enhance future educational infrastructure. We’ll be attending as delegates and - particularly in the light of the upcoming CF25 framework- we are keen to discuss how our expertise can support education projects.

CF25 and the Future of Digitally Enabled Schools

The Department for Education’s forthcoming CF25 construction framework, launching in 2026, marks a significant shift towards collaborative, technology-enabled learning environments. With a total value of £18.48 billion, CF25 will drive the design and construction of schools and other educational facilities across England.

Building on our extensive experience with CF21, we offer trusted, independent consultancy that ensures technology is embedded effectively from the outset of each project so that it can improve outcomes, streamline procurement, and reduce long-term costs.

Secure Technology by Design

As schools increasingly adopt Internet of Things (IoT) devices and interconnected systems, the need for secure, resilient IT design becomes paramount. Cyber security, safeguarding, and data integrity are no longer optional considerations - they must be integrated into the earliest design stages of any school build.

At Novatia, we provide technical design authority services that align with the latest DfE requirements and best practice. We help ensure your technology design is secure, scalable, and compliant, ready for both today’s classroom needs and tomorrow’s innovations.

Digital Strategy Starts at Planning

From cloud-based platforms to wireless infrastructure, your decisions at the planning stage shape educational outcomes for years to come.

Novatia works alongside education and construction teams to ensure a cohesive digital vision underpins each project. We translate curriculum goals and operational requirements into effective, future-ready technology solutions.
