One of the positives, to have emerged from lockdown, is that Heathfield is now a Microsoft TEAMs school.
All pupils have access to Microsoft 365 (office.com). Pupils benefit from a school email, access to teams and 1TB of data storage on ‘Onedrive’. This also means that we can quickly and efficiently move online, in the event of any future school, local or national lockdown.
TEAMS operates alongside class charts. Class charts is designed as a reminder for pupils and parents; essentially, a homework diary. TEAMS allows pupils to contact their teachers and each other, it also allows teachers to post resources and videos to support our pupils.
We have chosen TEAMs because it offers:
-
a safe online environment to work in
-
swift and effective communication
-
access to Microsoft apps to access resources and complete / submit your work
We are always looking to improve.
Our expectations from our learners
-
Students will adhere to our Learner's agreement, as outlined in the "Distance Learning: Learners' Agreement" found on our Policy page.
How can parents help & how can parents find help?
Education is always a partnership between schools and parents, and the pandemic served to highlight the importance of communication, collaboration and coordination.
Teachers are available through TEAMS and email.
