Discover how East Durham College uses Smoothwall Filter to provide safe and secure internet access to all users.
Frederick Gough School is a community secondary school based in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire.
It is the biggest council-led secondary school in the county with over 1200 students aged between 11–16 years.
The school had been experiencing several challenges with its web filtering. It was a basic solution provided by the Local Authority, controlled by a central server and shared across several other schools. Cost effective in principle. But less so in reality.

The school was becoming concerned about meeting its statutory obligations.
