Getting Connected

We announce information and events on the digital screens round the school, by email, via Teams and via your tutor. Teachers often get in touch via email – check your email before registration at 0830 every morning.

The school operate s an email curfew daily from 8.00pm to 6.00am so teachers will not receive emails if you send them during these times.

When you come to the school you sign up to our terms and conditions of use for all digital devices (your own and the school’s). Then you get your network credentials - you can ask for Wi-Fi keys if you want. These log-ins also get you into your email and other School systems like Office - 365 All the links are at the top of the website home page.

Network Usernames and passwords are issued to you on induction. But to be safe, we need to change passwords several times a year

We have very strict rules so that you stay safe. Read and remember them. All passwords and devices are your responsibility - “someone else logged on as me”/“someone else was using my phone” aren’t acceptable. Even at home, your behaviour has to be in line with the school rules. We treat any form of cyber-bullying just like we do the real thing. If someone bullies you outside the school grounds - that’s still bullying; and the same goes for cyber-space. You need your mobile to stay safe. You must register it on the forms we send home before you come to MTS. Keep it on your person - not just in your bag or blazer. Make sure you’ve got the numbers you need in your address book and essential information on your memo or calendar. Keep it safe. You are not allowed to use your phone’s camera in school unless it is work related. Turn your phone off before school starts at 08.30, and it can only be turned on again after school at 3.40pm. Stay safe near traffic and always use the pavement. Don’t use headphones whilst near roads, you may not hear a car and could get hurt. Don’t text while walking - you’re a hazard to others as well as yourself!
