How to ask for IT help

Start Here

If something is not working, start with the guide that matches the problem. If you are still stuck, speak to your form tutor.

Before asking for help

  1. Restart the laptop if it is safe to do so.
  2. Check the relevant guide on this site.
  3. Write down the exact error message if one appears.

Tell your form tutor

  • What you were trying to do.
  • What happened instead.
  • When the problem started.
  • Whether it happens at school, at home or both.
  • Your laptop name or asset label if there is one.

Important: students should speak to their form tutor first. Your form tutor can help decide whether IT support needs to be contacted.
