Upcoming Events
During November and December 2023, we are hosting a series of 30 minute online training sessions looking at different aspects of Windows and Office 365. Each session is designed to go over some key skills and enable you to work on each system more efficiently and effectively.
These sessions are FREE to all school staff, including to schools who do not usually receive IT Support from us.
Each session will take place after school between 4pm and 4.30pm and consist of 20 minutes going through the key skills followed by 10 minutes for any questions. They will all take place online and through Microsoft Teams.
