Google Classroom

Welcome to Google Classroom!

Google Classroom works on any PC, Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone or any other mobile device and is free of charge to use.

All students have been provided with their Google Classroom login to access everything they need.

We will be delivering our blended curriculum through Google Classroom, this will allow students to access their learning online on a laptop or via any tablet/mobile device by downloading the Google Classroom App, this will mean that in the event of any school closure or a student without any symptoms being required to self-isolate they will still be able to access their current curriculum.

Students self-isolating will be able to access all their lessons via Google Classroom, allowing students to keep up with the in-school curriculum. Any student self-isolating while a member of their household has symptoms or is waiting for a test result will be contacted by a member of the pastoral team who will be able to ensure they can access work in line with their usual timetable.

In the event of a prolonged school closure such as a year group sent home or a whole school closure, we can assure you that all lessons will carry on remotely via the Google Meet feature of Google Classroom, with student’s following their usual timetables.

Students can access their Google Classroom blended learning platform at the following address; https://classroom.google.com/

Students have been allocated their own username and password in school but should they be unable to log in please email t&l@theboulevardacademy.com for support.
