Remote Education Statement

Information for parents and carers

updated November 2022

All students are currently expected to attend school in person as normal unless they are required to follow guidance or direction from the Department for Education or school.

From Monday 21st November, if your child is directed to work from home, you and your child will be sent email instructions of how to access remote learning for the first day of learning remotely from home. 

Any queries about remote learning at Willowfield should be directed to your child's Achievement Leader. 

Any queries about IT and Microsoft Teams at Willowfield should be directed to: itsupport@willowfield-school.co.uk

If your child is directed to work remotely from home for longer than one day, then your child’s teachers will set assignments on the second day on Microsoft Teams and your child should follow their normal timetable for all lessons for a 5/6 hour day for each school day following on from this.  They will be required to upload the work that they have completed onto Teams. 

Instructions for using Microsoft Teams

Students should login using their school computer username. This is in the form of first initial + surname + intake year @willowfield-school.co.uk, e.g. if I am a student and my name is James Francis and I joined the school in year 7 in 2018 my username would be JFrancis18@willowfield-school.co.uk .

Please find user guides to assist your child in logging into Microsoft Teams.
