Remote Learning
Microsoft Outlook is used for school emails.
Computer: when first logging on via the Email / Teams button on this site you will ‘land’ on Outlook. Open Teams in a new tab to keep your emails easily available. When using the Teams app make sure to also have Outlook open to receive help request replies.
Mobile device: install the Outlook app (recommended) or add your school email account to your phone’s email settings.
Teams
We use Microsoft Teams and Office 365 for our remote learning provision. It is available on Computers and mobile devices.
Logging on to and installing Teams
Logging on to Teams is done with the pupil’s school email address and password. There is no need to set up a new account. Existing personal Microsoft accounts will not allow access to our remote learning environment.
PC / Mac
We recommend using the PC / Mac apps. They can be downloaded from Teams running in a web browser (see below).
