Apps and Platforms – Information for Parents and Carers

At Matthew Moss High School we utilise many different apps and platforms to offer the best learning experience for our learners. We also have a bespoke Student Resources website.

We are very proud of our homework and independent learning opportunities which are available to all of our learners and you will find many homework and independent learning opportunities set on Google Classroom.

Google Classroom FAQ

What is Google Classroom?

Google Classroom is our online platform where we set remote learning classwork, homework and extended learning opportunities.

What is Guardian Email Summary?

Google Classroom will send you an invitation so you can request daily or weekly emails from Google Classroom detailing what learning your child has been set in each Google Classroom that your child is a part of. Google sends the daily emails at 4pm, and the weekly email is sent out on a Friday afternoon. If you haven’t had an invite please contact us.

How do I as the parent/carer access Google Classroom?

Only students can access their Academy email account and Google Classroom. Due to GDPR we can’t give out students’ email addresses to their parents/carers. This clip here will help you to see what your child’s Google Classroom looks like.
