Remote access

Head Teachers and their Deputies and/or Business Managers may find it helpful to have remote access from home to their school’s admin server.

If you require such access it can be set up by ICT Services. You do not need to install any software on your home computer, as access is via the Internet and the Council's AppGate server.

You will be given an AppGate login ID and password to use when logging in.

Read the remote access via Appgate guidance for Coventry schools.

Requirements 

Requirements to enable set up are:

  • Name
  • Role - eg Head teacher, Deputy head, Business manager
  • Unique school email address - eg name@school.coventry.sch.uk (personal email addresses are not acceptable)
  • Logon id to school server - eg adminxx (so that your account can be enabled for remote access)

Important note

Please be aware that the server only permits two concurrent connections, therefore it is essential that you log off completely and close your AppGate connection each time, otherwise you may not be able to re-connect and will prevent others from connecting.
