Home Learning: Microsoft Teams

Dear Parents and students!

We will be using Microsoft Teams (MT) to communicate over the next few weeks. We’ll be able to provide live support to you, do video chats or lessons, upload pictures of your work and a range of other tasks. Please remember that this is to be used for educational purposes only.

[All details will be emailed to your parents]

Firstly, you need to log into your email account and check that you can login. Head to the Office 365 website.
