Virtual Learning Resources
We want you to be able to access all the support you need while studying from home. This page explains how we will make available the resources you need.
All pupils will have access to Microsoft Teams soon. You will find your classes, subjects or year groups are already allocated in MS Teams. There will be lots of study materials and lessons for you to access there.
You can download MS Teams onto your devices at home and your mobile for free. View or download a guide on how to access email, OneDrive, Teams and other Office 365 apps.
Student SharePoint. Although we are planning to use Microsoft Teams and also email resources to you, you can also download files from our Virtual Learning folder in SharePoint (see link below).
View and download HAB virtual learning files from SharePoint.
If you have forgotten your password please email your Head of Year who will support you in re-setting it. Please do remember our etiquette for remote learning and how we interact to support one another.
