Connect the Classroom: What Schools Need to Know for 2026
The Department for Education has confirmed that the Connect the Classroom programme will continue into 2026 and beyond, as part of a longterm commitment to improve digital connectivity across schools in England. Backed by £325 million of funding between 2025 and 2030, the programme supports eligible schools to upgrade WiFi infrastructure, including access points and network switches, where existing provision falls below DfE connectivity standards.* The programme remains targeted rather than openapplication. Schools receiving support through the RISE (Regional Improvement for Standards and Excellence) programme, or those identified by the DfE as having substandard connectivity, will be contacted directly. Further eligibility and selection criteria for future rounds, including later stages of 2026, are expected to be announced in summer 2026.* How Capita Entrust can help Capita Entrust supports schools, academies and trusts to prepare for and maximise the benefits of Connect the Classroom funding.
