Accessing E-mails from Home<br />

1. Open your internet browser and type in the following:<br />

http://ratcliffe-college.co.uk/students/<br />

2. You will then be asked to enter your username and password. Your<br />

username and password are the same as you use at school. However, the<br />

username should be typed in as ratcliffe\username<br />

Accessing your Work from Home<br />

1. Open your internet browser and type in the following:<br />

https://folders.ratcliffe.leics.sch.uk/Login?ReturnUrl=%2f<br />

2. You will then be asked to enter your username and password. You simply<br />

have to enter the username and password that you use at school.<br />

It is a good idea to save the above addresses in your ‘favourites’ folder.<br />

Common problems<br />

1. Your password is not accepted.<br />

From time to time the school network may require you to change your<br />

password. This can only be done within school, and until you change your<br />

password, you will not be able to access the network from home.<br />

2. You get an error message<br />

You must enter the addresses exactly as shown above. Note that they do<br />

not include ‘www.’<br />

3. You lose the file you have been working on.<br />

When working on files in your school documents, you should copy them to<br />

your computer at home first. When you have finished working, you can<br />

then copy the files back to the school network.<br />
