Support for IE 11 Withdrawn

From March 2022, Digimap for Schools will no longer support Internet Explorer 11.

This means that while Digimap for Schools may appear to work when using IE 11, we cannot guarantee that every tool and function will operate as expected. Our routine continuous updates to Digimap for Schools mean that we can no longer maintain full functionality on IE 11. For more details on how this might affect you, please read on.

Why is IE 11 no longer being supported?

Microsoft withdrew their support for Internet Explorer in August 2021. This means they no longer provide updates or security patches for this web browser. Technology changes regularly, and Microsoft have developed a new web browser, called Edge, to replace Internet Explorer. This is based on newer, more secure, technology.

What impact will this have on our school?

If your school operates with devices running Internet Explorer 11 you may find that Digimap for Schools does not function fully or does not function in the way you would expect. You may find that some functions work without any impact, but this may not be the case in future.

What can I do about it?

We recommend you find the most recent version of an alternative web browser such as Edge, Firefox, Chrome or Safari and upgrade your devices to use that instead. Digimap for Schools will work with the latest versions of any of these web browsers.
