Current Status: Fully operational
eduroam (education roaming) is a secure, international wireless (Wi-Fi) service available to all staff and students at Taunton School.

- All eduroam usernames are your full Taunton School email address.
For example: john.smith@tauntonschool.co.uk, joe.bloggs@tsmail.co.uk or mary.smith@guardiansuk.com
If you only enter the username, it won’t work. - You don’t need to set this up on any school managed laptop; it is automatically set up for you.
