Year 8

Pupils should be familiar with the virtual learning environment we have been using throughout the academic year in Computer Studies lessons. In these unpredictable times we intend to continue to use this tried and tested system to set tasks, receive work and provide feedback to our pupils.


While many subject areas in school are using the Microsoft Teams product to share work, we will continue to use Google classroom for Computer Studies. A link providing access to the Hwb learning platform is available on the school website.


In the event that work cannot be accessed via the Google classroom we will en-devour to provide links to tasks via these web-pages also.
