Case Study: The British School Amsterdam achieves seamless, secure campus-wide connectivity and digital learning with HPE Aruba Networking

Award-winning relocation enables The British School Amsterdam to create digital advantage

The British School Amsterdam (BSA) consolidated its early years, junior and senior schools into an award‑winning conversion of a former prison, creating a unique but technically challenging campus with thick walls and a spoked layout. The school needed reliable, site‑wide connectivity, clearer security policies and lower ongoing network management overhead to support a modern, mobile learning experience for over 1,000 students.

Wentzo delivered a managed Aruba solution—nearly 200 Aruba Wi‑Fi 6 access points (indoor/outdoor), Aruba 2930 and 3810 switches, AirWave management and Fortinet firewalls—on a network‑as‑a‑service basis. The deployment provides secure segmentation for different user groups, seamless indoor/outdoor mobility, support for cloud teaching apps, compliance with UK cyber standards, simplified management without extra IT hires, and a scalable premium service that enhances learning and parental engagement.
