IT Acceptable Use Policy
Before you log-into any IT device you need to be aware of and follow the acceptable use policy for the school. If you have any questions or concerns following this about how to use the network then do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff. The IT support team or a member of teaching staff will be able to help you.
School Email
At the beginning of Year 7 you are issued with a school email account. Use this email at all times when you are communicating with teachers or the school. Your ICT teacher will explain some of the other functions that you can use in Office 365.
Thornden Cloud
Thornden Cloud is a way for you to connect them to the school network from home. It gives you access to your school files and the student share when you are at home. Your files and shared resources are always stored on the school network, they are NOT stored on the Thornden Cloud. You simply have to go through Thornden Cloud to access the school network when you are at home. You do NOT need to use the cloud in school! Please read the instructions below about using Thornden Cloud.
