Tablets in every classroom, one-to-one device programmes and cloud-based learning platforms demand WiFi that schools can rely on. Cloudswitched delivers education-grade wireless with safeguarding built in.
We understand school IT requirements including high-density classrooms, safeguarding compliance and DfE connectivity standards.
Content filtering, keyword alerts and reporting tools help schools meet their Keeping Children Safe in Education obligations.
Seamless BYOD and managed-device policies ensure pupils, staff and visitors each get the appropriate level of access.
Schools have become some of the most demanding WiFi environments in the UK. A single classroom may contain thirty tablets or Chromebooks all streaming educational content simultaneously. Add interactive whiteboards, teacher laptops, VoIP phones and IoT devices, and the demands on the wireless network are enormous. Cloudswitched designs and installs school WiFi that meets these demands while keeping pupils safe online.
We design for thirty-plus devices per classroom as standard. Our access points use WiFi 6 technology optimised for environments where many devices compete for bandwidth simultaneously.
We configure content filtering, keyword monitoring and reporting that align with Keeping Children Safe in Education and Ofsted inspection requirements.
Separate SSIDs and VLANs for staff, pupils and visitors ensure appropriate access controls and prevent pupils from reaching sensitive systems.
Yes, and we recommend it. We schedule the majority of installation work during half-terms or summer holidays to avoid any disruption to the school day. Planning and surveys can happen during term time.
We deploy cloud-based or appliance-based content filters that block inappropriate categories, flag concerning search terms and generate reports for safeguarding leads. The system is configured to meet KCSIE and Ofsted requirements.
Yes. We configure a BYOD policy with a separate SSID that applies appropriate content filtering and bandwidth limits. Pupils register their devices through a portal and receive filtered internet access.
Yes. We work with individual schools, academy trusts and multi-academy trusts. For trusts, we provide centralised management with consistent policies and reporting across all schools in the group.
We install outdoor-rated access points to extend coverage to sports fields, playgrounds and outdoor teaching areas. This supports outdoor lessons using tablets and enables CCTV connectivity in external spaces.
