Google Classroom
Google Classroom is our online learning platform for all children at Christopher Reeves Primary. It is accessed in a web browser (Google Chrome recommended) or via the Google Classroom app (recommended for any pupils using smartphones or tablets) and will be used by teachers to set homework and share home learning resources in virtual classrooms that pupils are members of. Google Classroom is password protected and is only accessible to teachers and pupils. If pupils are isolating, this platform will also be used to facilitate pupils accessing the classroom via video link so that they can still be a part of the learning in the classroom (virtually) alongside their peers.
Google classroom can be accessed via this link: classroom.google.com
