Remote Learning

This page contains information about remote learning for all students. To ensure that we continue to support our students and parents through these unprecedented times, we are providing the following information which will be reviewed and updated regularly throughout the current pandemic situation.

Teachers will continue to plan and set lessons in line with the normal daily timetable. In this way pupils can follow their normal timetable and know which subjects to expect work from each day.

Remote Learning Timetable

• Students should follow their normal school timetable when undertaking remote learning.
• They should log in ready to access their lesson for period 1 each day by 09.15am, and then continue to log into each lesson following their normal timetable until lessons end at 15.00pm.

How to Access Remote Learning

We use Microsoft Teams to provide remote learning. All students have now received training in how to use Teams to access remote learning. Students will need to log in to www.office.com and use their unique school username and password that they would usually use to log in at school.
