ONLINE LEARNING & REVISION

Independent study is a vital skill and ensures students have a full understanding of their subjects.

Our lessons are saved to Microsoft Teams so students can access them for revision or to catch up on a missed lesson.

In addition, any student who is unable to attend school, and is well enough, should use the following information to access their lessons from home.

Home Learning Overview

1. Lesson resources will be uploaded to Teams ‘Class Materials’ folders by your child’s usual teachers, as per their normal school timetable 

2. Students should expect to work for the whole of the timetabled lesson

3. Students should have note paper or their exercise book plus the usual stationery for a lesson to hand (pen, pencil, ruler, calculator, geometry set) 

How to Access Home Learning 

1. Students have their own Office 365 account which gives them free access to a number of apps including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams. Students should log in to Office 365 here www.office.com with their school email address* and the password they would usually use at school 

2. To access work, go to the Teams app. Here students will find their classes which they should click into for work set by their usual teacher 

3. It is important students watch the video here to see how to access their lesson resources and assignments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx8xHpRMFHU   

4. Students need to remember to access lessons for the correct day according to their normal timetable  

5. Students can contact their subject teachers by posting a message on the Teams ‘Channel’ (this Channel is visible to all members of their class team) 

6. Students must check their emails and Teams Channels daily 

*Student emails are: username@honley.tlt.school

Students can also access their Outlook emails through Office 365 and use this to contact their Form Teacher, Head of Year or Subject Teachers. It is important students only contact staff using their school email address.  

Safe and appropriate use of Teams 

At all times, students must adhere to the school’s ICT Acceptable Usage Policy.  

Forgotten Password 

To reset a student password, a parent/carer will need to email hhs.reset.stu@honley.tlt.school and include their child’s full name, form group, date of birth and username. Our ICT team will respond to password requests Monday to Friday between 9.00am and 3.00pm.
