Home Learning
All students have an Office 365 account and they have been invited to a Microsoft Team for each of their subject areas. Each Team contains a scheme of activities to be completed by the student. We encourage you to look at this with your child.
All students will need to sign in to O365 using their school email address.
For help accessing O365 please select the following links:
If you require further assistance or have any issues with the 'Home Learning work' please do not hesitate to contact us :
Year 7: Ms Davies ([email protected])
Year 8: Ms Howells ([email protected])
Year 9: Mrs Nolan ([email protected])
Year 10: Mr Gardiner ([email protected])
Year 11: Mrs T. Thomas ([email protected])
Years 12/13: Mrs K. Thomas ([email protected])
We will continue to communicate to parents and pupils via ClassCharts. Please ensure you are checking your accounts regularly.
MathsWatch and Kerboodle are external websites. These learning tools will be accessed by thousands of students across the country. With such high traffic to these sites you may experience issues with logging in and accessing resources. If this is the case please try to complete work for another subject.
Remember the importance of reading, picking up a book to read during any period of home learning will be highly beneficial.
