Montsaye Academy Bring Your Own Device Policy – Ratified by Governors July 2019 2
Purpose of this policy Montsaye Academy provides a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) wireless network to which sixth form students can connect their own laptops or tablets. This policy sets out the terms of use of connecting to the BYOD network. What is the BYOD network? The BYOD wireless network is a wireless network that allows sixth form students to connect their personal devices to the internet. Once connected to the network they will only be able to access the internet, they will have no access to any other part of the network. How to connect to the BYOD network The student will have to visit the ICT Services department where they will be given a code that is unique to them and will only work on one device. Once the code has been used on one device it will only work on that device and no others. The code will also have an expiry date, the expiry date will be chosen by a member of ICT Services staff, but will not be more than one year. Once the code has expired the code will no longer work, the student will have to request a new code if they still need access to the BYOD network. Terms of Use The use of a personal device is not to be a distraction in any way to teachers or pupils. Personal devices must not disrupt class in any way. The use of personal devices falls under Montsaye Academy’s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). The latest version of the AUP can be found on the academies website. Pupils shall not use personal devices outside of their classroom or sixth form common room unless otherwise directed by their teacher. Pupils shall make no attempts to circumvent the school’s network security and/or filtering policies. This includes setting up proxies and downloading programs to bypass security. Pupils shall not distribute pictures or video of pupils or staff without their permission (distribution can be as small as emailing/texting to one other person or as large as posting image or video online). The BYOD internet connection is filtered to pupil level filtering and all internet traffic is monitored by the ICT Services department. Liability Statement Montsaye Academy is in no way responsible for: Personal devices that are broken while at school or during school-sponsored activities. Personal devices that are lost or stolen at school or during school-sponsored activities. Maintenance or upkeep of any device. As students grow up in an increasingly complex world it is important for them to understand e-safety and the importance of responsible and safe use of IT in keeping them safe from exploitation, bullying and radicalisation. All students at Montsaye Academy are entitled to be treated equally, regardless of age, disability, gender (or its reassignment), race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
