Can students play games on their iPads at school?
Upon receipt of the iPad, parents are requested to create a new Apple ID for the device in order to allow the school to push the necessary apps.
Parents are strongly encouraged not to provide their children with the password. No school-related apps or materials provided by the school require the use of a password by the student.
The school has very strict guidelines as to what sort of material is allowed on the iPad.
Game applications on the iPad are not authorised. Students may only use their iPads for personal use during lunchtime (between 12:05 pm and 1:15 pm) and only in the student lounge. iPads must be kept in bags while students are at the canteen.
The school will carry out random checks on the content of iPads. The installation or use of Virtual Private Networks is strictly forbidden.
What iPad management software or internet security is in place in school?
The school is protected by Sophos security software, which is specifically designed for education and currently protects more 100 million users in 150 countries for endpoint communication and encryption, as well as network, email, and mobile security.
Student internet access on school premises is submitted to the rigorous control of policies that allow access to some websites and or block categories such as alcohol and tobacco sites, blogs and forums, criminal activity, online gaming, and adult or sexually explicit content.
The school only permits Google Safe Search, which adds an extra level of protection.
