eLearning at John Flamsteed School

At John Flamsteed Community School your child has access to some of the best online facilities available. Accessible both in and out of School.

Moodle - Virtual Learning Environment

Moodle has become a world standard in virtual learning. We use moodle in school to deliver rich and interactive learning resources to students both in and out of class time. Increasingly, Moodle is being used to submit home work and complete assessment work.

Zimbra - Email and Colloration

Zimbra is a powerful E-mail suite that all staff and students have access to. Each student receives an @jfcs.org.uk address for school related use. Zimbra also provides features such as calendars, address books and task lists - all shareable between groups of students and staff.

Intranet - Home-School Access, Staff and Student News and Information

The Intranet binds together all of JFCS online for the staff and students, it is the homepage of all the school computers. The intranet also provides home-school access, giving students access to their "My Documents" folder and other shared network resources, off site.

Free Microsoft Software

John Flamsteed Community School is part of the Microsoft Academic Alliance, allowing all staff and students to use Microsoft software (such as Windows 7/Project/Visual Studio/Expression Studio) completely free of charge while they are with the School. Each staff and student will have recieved a username and password when they joined the school that allows them to download the software and obtain the licenses free of charge. To make it easier we have pre-burned disks of some of the most popular software which can be purchased at reception for £1. People who have difficulty downloading software due to a poor internet connections or other issues are advised to visit the School ICT technicians.
