Remote Learning
Google Classroom in GSuite for Education
When whole classes are required to self isolate and not able to attend school due to Covid 19 government procedures we will use G Suite for Education – a set of education productivity tools from Google to support their learning. Pupils will use their G Suite accounts to complete assignments, communicate with their teachers and learn 21st century digital citizenship skills, using mostly Google Classroom. Children will use a Gmail login to access this system.
Our pupil accounts have a particular set of security settings to reflect the fact that the system is being used by a child – they have a much higher security setting than our staff for example. We take advice on these settings from companies that advise us. Google’s Privacy Policy for GSuite can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/update G Suite for Education Privacy Notice. You can read that notice online at https://gsuite.google.com/terms/education_privacy.html
Pupils need to know:
Pupils will follow school policies for appropriate use when using Internet based services like Web 2.0 applications & Google Apps. These services are considered an extension of the school’s network. Pupils have no expectation of privacy;school and service administrators have the right and ability to monitor user accounts for policy and security enforcement, whether they access these in school or at home. Please read our Acceptable Use Policy available on this page.
Parents need to know:
Our Acceptable Use Agreement will be enforced. Parents are responsible for monitoring their child’s use of applications when accessing programs from home; the school cannot take responsibility for home Internet access and its setup. Pupils are responsible for their own behaviour at all times.
