Remote Learning Area
Autumn Term 2021
In the event of a pupil absense, teachers will make learning material for the lesson available on Teams Assignments. Our policy for Remote learning is available in the parent area of the website.
Microsoft Email and Office 365 Guidance
Pupils have all been given an Office 365 account which includes Outlook email and One Drive access, including lots of storage space for work, as well as, online access to a range of software applications e.g. MSWord, MSPowerpoint, Teams, One Note etc.
Please read the below document carefully so you can set up your accounts on devices.
The One Drive in Office365 is the same drive that pupils see in school for doing work. This gives you 24-hour access to documents created at home and in school. We encourage pupils to keep their storage area tidy and store documents in appropriately named folders.
Online Learning using Teams
We are advising that pupils download the Teams application to a device at home but if they do not want to do this they can access a cloud-based version by logging into Microsoft office 365 using this link www.office.com or typing it into the browser. (Chrome tends to work best)
They will then be asked to log in, and username and password are the same as their school email address and password.
Once logged into Teams they will see classes. Classes are labelled with the academic year, eg: "2020", "2021" (some older classes may appear as a result of our trials last year, they can hide these classes from view if you choose to).
If you have any further issues contact IT support (ITSupport@stmargaretsacademy.com)

Home Learning Routines
Consistent routines are important for behaviour and wellbeing in school and our routines at home have changed significantly. Routines support behaviour and you will be finding a new rhythm with your family. You could share this checklist with your child. Talk to them to help them plan their new routines.
