Sounds to me that you'll have much better luck approaching this in a much more secure way instead of trying to fudge through limited tools available to you.
If this school is even partially serious about protecting its pupils then they should be open to discussion and you can illustrate these difficulties you're having and the best way to achieve this goal. To be honest though if this sensitive information is run from the school's intranet then either they need to set up a secure VPN so you can dial-in directly to the intranet or you simply don't provide external access - if the school wants this information accessible then they should really give the pupils provision to access it within school hours. Just my opinion!
