We don’t publicise precise numbers as we are one of the companies listed in the DfE Cloud & Data Protection Act for schools document. This document is a checklist style system and asks suppliers to make statements on various aspects of security and data protection – one of these is advertising.

We don’t use any of your information for advertising purposes (as you would expect).
