http://www.ja.net/services/authentication-and-authorisation/janet-roaming.html It's not quite something for the school level (I'm guessing this is your primary school project?) but it's something that is pretty prevalent in the university world and being pushed for the further education world. You can see Arran blowing his trumpet (I tease, it's actually good stuff) with his step-by-step guide too: http://www.ja.net/documents/services/janet-roaming/sussex-freeradius-case-study.pdf If you need any assistance on this, best take it off list as it starts going off topic for FreeRADIUS. Although 'eduroam' might not be available to the local school for whatever reasons, all the documentation relating to deploying FreeRADIUS for 'eduroam' is exactly what you are looking for.
