You can resolve this problem by setting your VNC port to the HTTPS (443) port. WebVNC simply downloads a java applet which allows you to connect to the server through your browser in environments where you are unable to install or run the client program. Using 443 should fool the proxy server your school uses to allow you to connect through it to the server on your machine. You should be able to use either the web client or the normal client. However if your school uses traffic inspection on the proxy to confirm it is https traffic then you might still be screwed, worth a shot though.
