Remote Access LogoB

Our remote access service has been provided to students at Bramcote College for a number of years, and is an easy way of accessing files and appliactions from home in the same way as students would in college.

Remote access is no longer strictly needed - most work and files are now available online by logging straight into Microsoft Office 365 to access  Teams, OneDrive, Outlook, Word etc either through a web browser via the link above, or by downloading the Microsoft 365 apps to your chosen device and signing in with a college email address.

However, our remote access system is still available for use for students in Years 10, 11, 12 and 13, and instructions on how to connect can be found below: 

 

Our Remote Access facility allows you to connect into college and access all of your files from home. Using Remote Access is like sitting at a PC in college, with access to your P:\ Drive, Shared Resources, and software. You can use Remote Access from any PC, Mac, iPad, or tablet, although for ease of use a screen of 10"+ is recommended, along with a keyboard and mouse/touchpad.

Please note:

  • All connection attempts to the White Hills Park Trust network are recorded.
  • All login attempts to Remote Access are recorded.
  • All computer use on Remote Access is logged including (but not limited to) applications used, files opened/saved/deleted, documents printed and internet usage.
  • The Trust's ICT policies for staff and students still apply when using Remote Access from home or any other location.
  • DO NOT USE REMOTE ACCESS IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE CONDITIONS.

Additional Information

It will sometimes be necessary to take down Remote Access for maintenance and upgrades and it will not be always available. IT Services will always endeavour to keep downtime to a minimum.

Do not rely on Remote Access to meet last minute deadlines - Remote Access being unavailable is not an adequate excuse for missing a deadline.

Whilst using the Internet on Remote Access you will be subject to the same filtering and code of conduct as when in school.
Depending on the popularity of Remote Access it may be necessary to limit the amount of users that can access the system at any one time, to ensure that the user experience remains adequate.

This service may be withdrawn at any time.
