Registering for Online Zoom Sessions As all our autumn term meetings have moved to virtual Zoom sessions, it is particularly important that all colleagues register to attend or send apologies using our online booking forms. This will ensure that colleagues receive the correct Zoom link to join each session and will allow us to quickly identify them when they join using their school's generic Zoom account .

If they do not register, then the meeting may be delayed as we will need to identify each colleague to accurately record the minutes and in the case of HoD meetings, to allocate them to the correct exam board ‘break out’ session.
