We’re very excited to share that Skolon has been shortlisted for the NEW FOR 2026: Best Supplier in Online Safety and Cyber Security award at the Education Today Awards.

The new category for 2026 created by Education Today recognises suppliers that are helping schools and trusts create safer, more secure digital environments for pupils, staff and their wider communities – and we’re incredibly proud to be recognised as one of the organisations leading the way!

Now, we need your vote!

Making digital education safer by design

For schools and multi-academy trusts, online safety and cyber security can no longer be treated as separate from the wider digital strategy – in fact, it goes way beyond that.

With increasing numbers of platforms, applications, accounts and resources being introduced into education every year, the digital environment is becoming increasingly complex; and with vast complexity comes risk.

That’s where Skolon comes in.

Skolon provides schools and trusts with a single, secure platform for accessing and managing their digital learning environment, helping schools and MATs bring greater control, visibility and consistency to the tech they use every day.

From our central Skolon platform, schools and trusts can connect the digital tools and resources they already use, making them easier and safer for staff and pupils to access.

One login, fewer risks

Helping to keep schools and trusts safe, Skolon simplifies security by collating digital resources together in one place, with single sign-on and secure access helping users get to the tools they need without juggling multiple usernames and passwords.

There are so many barriers to access in education, and every time there’s an additional platform, password and login, it creates both another potential point of vulnerability, in addition to another barrier for teachers and pupils.

One of the barriers we’ve taken out is a great support for younger pupils and those who may find traditional login processes challenging. We have a simple QR-code-based way for them to access their personalised digital environment called Skolon Pass, as well as our new Emoji log in feature.

Security built into the digital ecosystem

At Skolon, security isn’t something added on afterwards. It is considered throughout the platform and the way schools interact with their digital environment.
Skolon is GDPR-compliant by design, uses European hosting and provides features that support schools with areas such as auditability, usage visibility and data processing management.

By helping schools create a more structured and controlled digital environment, Skolon supports the people responsible for technology, safeguarding and data protection – while keeping the experience simple for the teachers and pupils using it every day.

Why this recognition matters

Being shortlisted for Best Supplier in Online Safety and Cyber Security is a fantastic recognition of the work we’re doing with schools and trusts across the UK.
But winning would mean even more.

As education continues to navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape, visibility matters. The more schools, trusts and education leaders who know about the importance of building a secure, manageable and joined-up digital environment, the more organisations we can help.

Your vote could help put Skolon in front of more education leaders who are looking for better ways to manage their digital ecosystems, protect their communities and give staff and pupils safer access to technology.
