Remote live lessons timetable
Now that we are all more confident with live online learning, and having taken feedback from a number of parents, we have slightly adjusted the school day in order to align break and lunchtimes across all year groups. The same timetable will apply to study club students in school. The amended timetable can be found here.
Conduct during remote lessons
Recently we have held assemblies with all year groups, which have focussed on getting the most from live online lessons. Our code of conduct for online lessons has been explained to students, including expectations about participation, online safety, and courtesy. The code of conduct can be found here.
Accessing Teams for live lessons
All students should be able to access Teams and join live lessons. If you are having difficulty, please take a look at the instructions here. If you need to re-set a password, please contact the school office via the school app or via the usual text or email system.

If you have forgotten your SMHW login details you can re-set them by clicking here for a student login, and here for a parent/carer login. Please be aware that parents/carers and students cannot use the same email address on this system
Additional resources
There are a number of platforms and websites that the school uses to enhance or extend a student’s learning. Further details can be found here, along with access information where appropriate. If you experience problems accessing the systems, please contact the class teacher in the first instance.
