Microsoft Teams is the virtual platform where students can access homework, lesson resources and enrichment materials.
Microsoft Teams is an excellent way to aid learning, through Teams:
- Students are able to email/chat to their teachers directly through Microsoft Teams
- Homework stored in a central area and students can upload feedback
- Students can access lesson resources to reinforce learning
- Links to relevant websites
- Video lessons through Teams
- Subject enrichment sites within class Teams
All students in the UTC are provided with an email which allows them to access Teams.

This will be most useful for students in Year 13 who are progressing to university in the autumn but may also be of interest to other students.
