WiFi is available for sixth form students and guests to use on site with their own devices. The Internet access provided by this WiFi is filtered, just as with Internet access on school computers.

Step 1: Connect Your Device to the WiFi

• Sixth Form Students: Bring your device to the IT Support office to get connected.
• Guests: You may have been provided with a WiFi password to use. You will also need to perform Step 2 below if you want to be able to use Google Search.
  Alternatively, ask to have a member of the IT Support team connect your device for you.

Step 2: Install the Certificate

Devices will also need to have a certificate file installed in order to access Google Search when using the school's WiFi. This will not affect how your device works elsewhere.
