RM selected as ICT supplier for Oxford Academy

The Oxford Academy, a new school built under the National Academies Framework, has chosen RM as its ICT supplier. The Academies programme provides new, state-funded schools, independent of local authorities and supported by sponsors. In the case of the Oxford Academy, sponsorship support comes from the Oxford Diocese.

The Oxford Academy will ultimately be a 1,450-pupil school, housed in a new purpose-built facility. As well as a secondary school specialising in mathematics, ICT and sport, the site will also be a leadership centre (run in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University) and a football centre of excellence.

RM will be supplying a five-year managed ICT service, including products and services from Apple, Sun and Cisco, as well as RM’s core learning technologies products, including the Oxfordshire Learning Platform. The Oxford Academy will also feature a wide range of other RM Group solutions, including SEN products, EasyTrace access control systems, ISIS learning spaces solutions, and Lightbox curriculum software.
