For our first phase of supporting learning at home staff are setting tasks on Go4Schools.

This is available at https://go4schools.com/

We would strongly recommend that all parents and students download the Go4Schools app available at:

This will also enable you to self-track completion of tasks, receive daily or weekly emails or notifcations fo work set.

  • Please note that at times the Go4Schools app may become unresponsive, this usually resolves itself quickly.
  • If you do have problems with the app we usually find that the website still operates.

For support with Go4Schools please email kbuckle@tgschool.net

The second thing we would ask is that students continue to use their planners. This is the perfect place to keep a record of their work completed, and can also be signed by parents weekly. This will give you as parents a sense that work is being completed.

Teachers will also monitor completion of tasks in a variety of ways, including online tools and the submission of key pieces of work.

  • We have asked staff to set work on a daily basis for the lessons that they would have taught that day. Students should log on to Go 4 Schools each day to see the work that they need to complete for their lessons that day. These tasks will be given a duration up until the next timetabled lesson in that subject unless otherwise stated.
  • We appreciate that on some days it may not be possible to complete the task set, due to illness or other circumstances. We will monitor this and contact you if we have concerns. In addition, if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact us via studentsupport@tgschool.net.
  • If you have any subject specific questions please contact the subject leaders. They can be found here, or in the contact list in resources.
  • During this period merits will continue to be awarded by staff for outstanding work.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON GOOGLE DRIVE RESOURCES
