About Google Classroom

We have always known that the partnership between families and schools is fundamental in helping our children to achieve. 2020 has shone a spotlight on just how important our relationships are in supporting our children to learn! Through our many phone conversations during lockdown, parent surveys and pupil voice, we understand the challenges that learning at home can present.

The development of our Remote Learning Format is designed to strengthen and support our partnership in providing our children with a great education, even if they are unable to attend school.

 

Below you can find guides to help explain how to access and use the remote learning platform, Google Classroom.
