Student's Work - Working From Home
We appreciate that extended periods of time out of lessons is less than ideal and our staff are and have been working hard behind the scenes to provide work for students to be doing at home. All the information on what the students should be completing at home, how to access the work, suggested schedules and how to contact the staff is available in the following tabs.
- Accessing the Work
- Working at Home Tasks
- Timetable of Study
- Year 12 Live Online Lessons

Accessing the Work
Working at home folder
The ‘working at home’ folder contains worksheets, PowerPoints and supporting materials that your son/daughter needs to complete their weekly tasks. The folders are arranged into year groups and subjects. Teachers have filled the folders with worksheets, PowerPoints and reading activities that the students can be working on. Students do not need to complete the activities online and need only to view the documents on a screen such as a mobile phone or tablet. Students can complete the work in their subject books or homework books.
To access the ‘working at home’ folder, students should click on the link at the top of the school website called ‘FOLDR’ under the school logins pull down menu and log in with their school username and password.
If students have forgotten their password then they should email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. In the meantime, students can access the folder by using the log in details below.
Username: getworking
Password: kc1kc1
When logging on using this username and password students will be taken straight to the ‘working at home’ folder.
Student user area access
To access a student’s user area, students should click on the link at the top of the school website called ‘FOLDR’ under the school logins pull down menu. Students will need to use their own personal username and password. If students have forgotten their password then they should email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Knowledge organisers
Your son/daughter should have their knowledge organiser folder, however all knowledge organisers are available on our website and do not need to be printed and can be viewed on a screen. They can be accessed by clinking on this link.
Working at Home Tasks
Working at Home Tasks
The schedule of activities table below will be updated on a weekly basis. Tasks are a mixture of revision, practice tasks and ‘subject in the real world’ activities. The ‘subject in the real world’ activities are more practical task that are focused on showing your son/daughter how what they are learning is relevant to everyday life. To access the schedules, students should click on the tab for their year group. Extra resources will be saved in the ‘working at home’ folder in the student share. Details on how to access this folder is below. Students need to work through the tasks and ensure that all tasks or that week are completed by the end of the week.
Our teaching staff are also ‘working from home’ and are also trying to balance work with looking after their children and other family members. Unfortunately, this means the teaching staff do not have the capacity to mark or provide feedback on the tasks that the students complete.

If you don’t make an information sheet for your parents/carers informing them of how much energy they could be wasting each year, what they could do to improve this and how much it would cost them. Task 4 Insulation experiment. Equipment you need; mug, kettle, elastic band or a hair bobble, thermometer if you have one, some different items of material (this could be clothes etc as you don’t need to cut them up!) Task; -Boil kettle- while you do this choose a piece of insulation and wrap it around your cup -Pour water into your cup – remember to cover the top otherwise heat will just flow out from the top! -Leave the cup to stand for 10 minutes -If you have a thermometer test the temperature of the water in the cup at the end of 10 minutes- if you don’t have a thermometer you can use your hands and place them on the outside of the mug to see how hot it feels- be careful! -Repeat this experiment with 5 different materials/ types of insulation How will you know which is the best insulation? Task 5 Fair scientific tests Have a look at the method you followed in task 4. Think about if your peers had also done this experiment in their house and you wanted to compare your results. What might they have done differently to you because the method was not specific enough? Re-write the method for task 4 and make it so that it is a fair experiment that you could compare with other people (this means you have to all do exactly the same!) – you can assume for your method that everybody has a thermometer

Timetable of Study
Timetable of Study
Routine can help to break up the pressures of completing academic work and ensure that students remain focused and ready to learn. It is essential that we are realistic and recognise home school is far from ideal and we are all trying to make the best of a national crisis. Please do not worry about creating a routine which is identical to the school day as this may not be achievable. Establishing a routine such as following the timetable below will enable students to cover all the different subjects rather than just focussing in on their favourite ones. Where possible please support your son/daughter to follow the timetables below:

It is unreasonable to expect students to work for 5 hours every day and so we would recommend students spending 30 minutes on each task and taking regular breaks. Regular breaks and making the most of exercise time is important to enabling your son/daughter to concentrate fully on their tasks. There are lots of free exercise apps and YouTube videos that your son/daughter can follow and complete on a daily basis.
Year 12 Live Online Lessons
Microsoft Teams
All live online lessons will be delivered via Microsoft Teams. It runs on all web-enabled digital devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones. We are conscious that some families will have parents/carers and other children working online from home and may be concerned about the speed of their home broadband. Please be reassured that online technical support will be available by emailing the IT Support Team at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Students will receive an email from their teacher with joining instructions before the lesson.
Timetables
The live online lessons will run during what would have been the students’ normal daily timetable via Microsoft Teams. There may be some slight adjustments where necessary. This sense of normality and routine is an important element of reassurance for students during this unsettling time. The lessons will be approximately 60 minutes, however the length of the lesson will depend on the content being delivered and the questions students may have.
Please see the timetable of the live online lessons that we will be offering over next half term:

Attendance
We appreciate that not all students will necessarily be able to join the live online lessons. All lessons will be recorded for safeguarding purposes but also to enable students to re-watch the lessons where necessary and to enable absent students access to the teaching.
Student Conduct & Behaviour
Students are expected to log-in to the live online classes on time and be well prepared with the necessary resources. As with a normal school lesson, they are expected to be attentive and participate willingly and respectfully. Students do not need to wear school uniform, but must be dressed appropriately for a school environment eg students must not be wearing pyjamas or dressing gowns. As with normal classes, students must not disrupt the learning environment for others. The guidance to both students and teachers is that live online lessons should be conducted in public areas and that certain rooms in the house, such as bedrooms, should not be used when using live online lessons.
No student will be given access to the live online lessons without having agreed to the student code of conduct. Please click here to see the student code of conduct.
Please click here to see the staff live online lesson guidance.
Teaching
Microsoft Teams allows for the sharing of digital content and visual resources. PowerPoints may be talked through and visual examples shared. Resources may be shared before, during or after a class and students should access these resources in a timely fashion to ensure their learning is well supported.
Communication with Staff
Communication with Staff
Regular contact with teachers is important for students. Your son/daughter’s head of year will be sending a weekly email to students to keep them updated with weekly challenges and activities that they can complete as well as making sure that they are well. Your son/daughter can always contact their head of year and teachers via their school email. If you have queries about the work you can contact the subject teachers via the subject emails in the table below:
Our teaching staff are also ‘working from home’ and are also trying to balance work with looking after their children and other family members. Unfortunately, this means the teaching staff do not have the capacity to mark or provide feedback on the tasks that the students complete.

Further Advice
Further Advice
My son/daughter is struggling to complete the work
We fully understand that students are going to find the tasks more challenging than they would if they were at school. We also appreciate that some students may be unwilling and finding these uncertain times very unsettling. Ensuring that your son/daughter’s is coping and that they are healthy both in body and mind is paramount. If completing the weekly tasks is causing issues, then please focus on ensuring that your son/daughter reads every day and that they complete their daily Hegarty maths tasks.
