From Monday 20th April, staff will start to set work using ‘Google Classrooms’.

In order to give both students and staff time to adjust to the change of using ‘Google Classrooms’ we will be operating for 1 week until, Monday 27th April a dual approach of using the current system of a shared drive and the new Google Classrooms.

What is ‘Google Classrooms’?

‘Google Classrooms is an electronic method where staff can issue lessons to students, including any resources (just like we currently can), but it will also allow for:

  • Students to ask questions about the work straight to their teacher
  • It allows for work to be submitted and marked, with feedback provided.
  • It gives clear deadlines for when work needs to be submitted

How to get started?

Students need to know their ‘google username and password‘.  We have had to create these for all students, they are different to what they normally use for the school network.

We have emailed all students their ‘google username and password‘ to their school email account.  CLICK HERE for a guide to accessing school emails.

If you are still stuck, you either:

  • Phone: 01904 411341
  • Email: reception@archbishopholgates.org

They can give you your google username and password.

Now follow this simple guide to getting started:
