This page provides some information to support students' working remotely.
During an ad hoc absence from school due to self-isolation, students in Years 7 to 9 should access remote work for their different subjects using Class Charts. Students in Years 10-13 should access work on Microsoft Teams, from their Office 365 account.
If students are unable to access these they should contact the school office or their Head of Achievement.
