Learning Resources / Links

As a school we use google classroom for setting work, homework and uploading lesson resources and marking completed work. Students have their own log in details for google classroom. Passwords can be reset by speaking to the child’s director of learning.

Students also have a log in and access to GCSE Pod which many subjects direct students to.
