Correct, they don't recommend it for Education just yet, so need to stick with our MF for now!

From their FAQs

 

Education has special requirements and the initial phase of PaperCut Hive is not tailored for education. Check out PaperCut MF , which is specifically designed for education. Over time we’ll be bringing more cloud technologies to education. Stay tuned for more announcements.

Never. However a fiber break or cable damage could happen at any time, and we don't have a resilient line.

There was the Virgin Media outage a few days ago which was caused by a massive underground electrical explosion. It got one of our schools and a lot of LGFL schools. We were lucky as we have another circuit at a different site that we can use but not everyone would have been.
