Come in  to find the latest information on the sites you like to visit, mobiles and new technology. Find out what’s good, what’s not and what you can do about it. If you look after young people there’s an area for you too – with resources you can use in the classroom, at home or just to get with it. Most importantly, there’s also a place which anyone can use to report if they feel uncomfortable or worried about someone they are chatting to online. All the information here is brought to you by our team at The Gilberd School and the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Centre.

Student guidelines for remote live teaching at the Gilberd School

  1. Parents and carers can help set up devices, but should not join any live lessons.
  2. Before joining a lesson, students are expected to turn off their cameras and mute their microphones. Communication will be via the live typed ‘chat’ feature in Microsoft Teams.
  3. Students should use the ‘hands up’ facility to ask a question. Students should try not to interrupt a presentation or teacher explanation.
  4. Students must remember that respect for all is crucial, with appropriate language, questions, answers and responses being fully expected as if they were in a classroom at school.
  5. All live sessions will be recorded in order to safeguard the students and staff. This also allows students to watch the session if they could not participate.
  6. Students will be added to all of their classes ‘Teams’.
  7. Students must not attempt to join or set-up additional ’Teams’.
  8. If technical difficulties happen, we expect students to show patience and understanding, however, if you there any ongoing issues or questions about this matter, students should email: [email protected]
  9. Whilst we do not expect this to be the case, it is important to note that any student who fails to meet these standards and expectations will be issued with a clear reminder. However, any further poor behaviour could lead to their access to future virtual/live classes being withdrawn.
