Accessing MSTeams through XBox

If you have an XBox at home, you can use it to access MSTeams for online lessons. This may help if you have limited devices at home. Please see the tutorial for how to do this, and thank you to Mrs Waters for creating the tutorial.

Connection issues

If you are struggling with connection issues, and you or family members have unlimited data on their phones you will be able to hotspot to allow wifi on their laptop/computer. Connection speed is very good. To do this go to settings and enable hotspot.

Increasing data allowances on mobile devices to support disadvantaged children

The government is supporting disadvantaged students to request a mobile data increase if families have no broadband connection at home or if they cannot afford additional data. Please contact us to let us know if you think this may apply to you.
