Studying from Home: Remote Learning

What do I do if I have to study from home?

If you are off school, for example because you are having to isolate, then you must do all that you can to keep up your studies.

It is our expectation that you will work from home and study the same lessons you will have in the same day that you would usually be in school.

If you are absent and need to study remotely, your teachers will put work on Teams for you to complete.  

To access your work and know what to do, you must use Microsoft Teams

To learn how to use Microsoft Teams and how to access your Remote Learning resources, you need to watch the video below.

You can also use this Microsoft Teams at Hilbre Student Guide to see what to do. Information from this guide is outlined for you below.

If you are learning remotely, where you are working from home, your teachers have produced all the resources you will need. This is what you need to do:
1)    Look at your timetable. What lessons should you be having?
2)    What week of the term is it? Count the number of weeks from the start of term. (E.g. September 21st is the start of week four in the Autumn Term.)

4)    Click on the Class Team page for the first of your classes on that day.
5)    At the top of the page, you will see a Files tab. Click on it.

6)   You will see a Class Materials folder. This is the folder where you will find what you need to do. Click on it.

7) You should now see a Blended Learning folder. Click on it.

8) You will now see a folder called ‘Blended Learning Curriculum Map’. Inside this folder will be the information you need, telling you what you need to do to access the lesson your teacher has prepared for you.

9)    Open this folder. There will be a file with all the information you need. There will be instructions on what resources you will need, depending on the week of the term it is. Your teacher will also use the 'Posts' feature in Teams to guide you about your learning.
