Dataspire is sharing £3,000,000 of funding with schools and academies across the country to develop digitally enabled learning communities.

Exploring the unknown…

The challenge for schools to do more with less is at an all-time high, and with increasing energy bills, the cost-of-living crisis, an increase in cyberattacks, staff vacancies 85% higher than pre-pandemic levels, and a learning divide that continues to widen, a solution is needed that will take the load off senior leaders and allow you to focus on improving outcomes.

It’s rare that technology is considered to solve these problems but it’s actually an integral part of the solution and the key to unlocking savings, time and potential across your learning community.

That’s why we have created the Making a Digital Difference Fund.

What is Making a
Digital Difference?

The Making a Digital Difference (MADD) Fund is a £3,000,000 reserve that is being shared with schools and academies nationwide to uncover your school’s full potential through the exploration of digital transformation.

Using the MADD Fund, we will take you on a journey that enables you to adapt to the demands of 21st Century teaching and learning, steering whole-school improvement through the use of technology.

How does it work?

Applications are now open for your share of the £3,000,000 pot and across 4 levels, we will work closely with you to design, develop and implement a digital transformation expedition.

Why the fund was created

The prospect of planning a big adventure can be daunting. We know that most education settings would like to make a digital difference but what does that mean, what will that take and where do you begin?

Since our inception in 2005, Dataspire has worked with schools of all sizes, from small primary schools to large universities, and with this wealth of experience, we know and understand the challenges that schools are facing, and we want to help!

Navigating Whole School Improvement

Our aim is to make a significant and positive impact on education by driving whole-school improvement and reducing the associated costs using technology. Together we will achieve this as guided by our SHERPA Principles:
