How to access work from home

Message from the Principal

I am sure that you will be aware of the unprecedented impact that the COVID-19 epidemic is having on the nation. As a parent, I want to assure you that there are a significant amount of resources available to you and your child to help support their education which can be accessed via the links and tutorials above in the event of a closure. Through SharePoint, teachers have provided work for every lesson that your child would normally attend. If the closure is longer than expected, teachers will continue to upload resources for students to access from home to try and minimise the impact of the closure.

All students have been shown how to access this and have been told about the expectations of what they should be doing. This has been communicated through lessons and VT groups. The academy has also provided an exercise book for every student so that they can complete work and keep a record of the progress they are making.

Should students be concerned about the work or unsure of how to progress, they are able to contact their teachers via email for support. How to do this has been explained to students and is covered by one of our ‘help’ videos.

We encourage students to check their academy email every day as teachers will be communicating with them and there will be updates via email, Twitter and the website for parents and carers to ensure that everyone is kept as up to date as possible on the changing national picture and the support that the academy is offering.

Thank you for your continued support and I hope you and your families stay safe and healthy.

Nick Robinson
Principal
