Free Wi-Fi
All of our students have access to our free site-wide guest Wi-Fi network, allowing them to bring their own devices in to school and connect them to the Internet.
Before using the service, you must read the 'Guest Wi-Fi Acceptable Use Policy'. By using the guest Wi-Fi network, you are agreeing to adhere to the terms of this policy.
NOTE: We provide an HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) Internet connection only. If you use any software or apps that use other ports (such as e-mail clients / apps) you may find these do not work. All Internet activity is filtered and monitored to a standard appropriate in an education context.
Once you have read the Acceptable Use Policy, you may connect your device.

How do I connect my device?
To connect your device, simply connect to the "School_Students" Wi-Fi network, which is broadcast site-wide. This is an open network with no password. Once you are connected, your device should pop-up a Wi-Fi sign in page (if not, just open your web browser and browse to portal.bostonhighschool.co.uk). On this page, type in your normal school username and password and you will then be authenticated. You will be required to sign in once per day.
