New sch.uk domain name

[TheManFromIT]

Just a quick question. My MAT is opening up their first new school in September, how do we go about getting a sch.uk domain name setup?

 

New school will be in Corby, so will be northants.sch.uk. Who should we contact at NCC?

 

Cheers

Nominet are responsible, you also don't have to have northants, you could have .corby.sch.uk (geographical is required) and the above link says it all.

... geographical is required...

 

I really think that rule needs to be changed. Especially with the increase in MATs, it's silly to force MATs to have "..sch.uk" as MATs can and do grow far beyond their geographical areas.

 

That's why a lot of MATs are usually .org or .co.uk because they can't get .sch.uk addresses. Recently, I've also seen .academy and .trust.
