Logging In

To go to google classrooms please click the below button. If you aren’t already signed in it should ask you to put in your google account details that have been given for your child. It should then take you straight to the list of their classes. If they aren’t present as expected please check the guide below.

Cannot See Pupils Classroom

Sometimes if your device is already signed into a google account it can jump back to that account. This can cause some confusion. On most web browsers when signed into google account you can check in the top right corner who is currently signed in and if this doesn’t show the account for your child you can usually add another user.

Tablet Devices

A lot of the functions of google classrooms should work on tablet devices. But we can’t guarantee all homework will work with all devices. There are so many different makes and models of Android and Apple devices that over time some of them become outdated . As the use of classrooms evolves we hope that we can find what works best for everyone.
