Remote Learning Resources
The Academy has a range of facilities available to support students when learning off site, details of some of these are below.
Please note: New content is being added continuously to this page and to the resources for students on our Office 365 systems.
Further resources and information will be available on SharePoint for the students when they are logged in to the Academy's Office 365 systems. Alternatively this may also have been allocated to students via Ruler.
Just as a reminder student usernames for Office 365 are formatted as the below example:
First Initial.Surname(year of entry)@students.jlacademy.co.uk
e.g. A.Student20@students.jlacademy.co.uk
