Frequently Asked Questions:
(Click on the arrow at the end of each question to display the answer)

Questions about logging into Chromebooks:

Q: "I cannot login to the Chromebook because it is already logged in with somebody else's name."

A: If this is the case, please click on the button that says "Add Person" on the bottom left of the screen. You will now be able to enter a new users login details.

Questions about Google Drive:

Q: "We completed some activities and saved them in Google Drive. Will the teachers automatically be able to see them?"

A: No, your child's teacher doesn't always have access to your child's Google Drive files. If your child has saved some work via Google Classroom then it will save in their Google Drive and their teachers will have access to this work.

Questions about accessing things online:

Q: "How do I access the real PE resources online?"

A: Most websites use the LGfL username and password (don't forget it ends in 319) - if you don't know what your username and password is please email the Distance Learning email address.

Questions about LEO Online Lessons:

Q: "We are struggling to keep on top of all of the LEO online lessons as well as the activities being set by Cheam Fields staff."

A: Please don't feel that you need to be completing every single activity that is being provided online. The LEO online lessons are not following the same schemes of work as those set by CF staff because they are going out to all schools in the Trust so need to be fairly generic. If your children are completing the lessons set by CF teachers then there wouldn't be any expectation that they should then go and complete the LEO lessons too. Equally, if your child fancies doing a LEO lesson one day then they perhaps don't need to complete all of the CF lessons. You will find what is right for your child / your family but please don't attempt to complete every single thing online because you will end up working 27 hour days.

Questions about work that has been completed:

Q: "Do I need to send every piece of work into the teachers?"

A: No, not if you don't want to. You are very welcome to send every single piece or you could just send in a couple of highlights from each day or week.

Q: "How do I send work to my child's teachers?"

A: If your child is in Year 4 then they will be able to submit some of their work online via Google Classroom. Any other work can be emailed to the teachers using the following email addresses:

Nursery: cfynhomelearning@leoacademytrust.co.uk

Reception: cfyrhomelearning@leoacademytrust.co.uk

Year 1: cfy1homelearning@leoacademytrust.co.uk

Year 2: cfy2homelearning@leoacademytrust.co.uk

Year 3: cfy3homelearning@leoacademytrust.co.uk

Year 4: cfy4homelearning@leoacademytrust.co.uk

Year 5: cfy5homelearning@leoacademytrust.co.uk

Year 6: cfy6homelearning@leoacademytrust.co.uk

You can email in any work that has been completed on a computer or take photos and email them in

Questions about sending work into teachers:

Q: "We have emailed work to the teachers but haven't had a response yet."

A: Teachers are working hard to ensure that all online lessons are created and available for the children. Across all LEO schools, the decision has been made to focus on this rather than on "marking" individual pieces of work. By sharing your work with the teachers, they will be able to add some general comments on the Distance Learning Platform or via Twitter but won't be "marking" individual pieces of work in the way that they would be doing in normal lessons.

Questions about forgotten passwords:

Q: "My child has forgotten their password for {insert missing details here}."

A: The quickest way to get your child's password details is to email your year group Distance Learning email address. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
