Successful Proxy Authentication Connections on iPads

We know that a lot of staff and pupils have been experiencing proxy authentication issues on school iPads.

We had previously published the following help and tips page through Sway: https://sway.office.com/wRYnDRoxD3SkqV3d?ref=Link

We have updated this today (second video in the Sway presentation).

All are reminded that, even if the proxy authentication issue persists, school iPads can still be used to access Teams, Outlook and almost all mediums being used to deliver online learning.

The local authority ICT team are currently taking steps to reduce the incidence of proxy authentication problems.
