200 students 10 ish teachers Thank you!

We are part of MAT, but the have not got their act together yet. Their procurement is not something that I have all that much trust in. Afraid we are on our own when it comes down to this. I have contacted the High school to see if they can recommend anything. - - - Updated - - - Afraid nothing that would suit us.

Hi all, We need some advice on what content filtering to use. We have something, but in all honesty it is useless. The teacher that set it up has now gone and no one knows how it works. We need a new start! We are primary school, so all the given stuff needs to be filtered. We also need different access for teachers. We would also need to be able to change access e.g. block and allow certain sites. The people who provide our computers and switches are looking into 'Watchguard'. But in all honesty, it is not their forte, so out of good practice, I just want to search myself as well. How do they work? Does it sit on your Router? Or do you change the DNS and it filters it like that? Just curious as how it works on a large scale. Obviously, it is not a programme installed on each laptop!! Thank you very much
