Learning at home and borrowing school laptops
The government and St. John's recognise that not all children will have access to hardware at home to access google classrooms. To help with this we have a number of laptops in school that we are able to loan to families when their children are at home. If you have a child at home and would like to borrow a laptop please click on the link below to let us know you would like to pick one up from the school office. You will have to sign a copy of the loan agreement, which can be seen below and return the laptop when your child returns to school.
Be aware that we have limited stock and may not be able to lend laptops to every child that requests one.
Priority will be given to free school meal children and children in receipt of pupil premium funding.
If you are unable to complete the form please ring school and speak to Mrs. Simpson, who will be able to complete it on your behalf.
What is remote learning at St. John's?
In the autumn term 2020 St. John's produced it's remote learning policy. CLICK HERE. This policy shares information with how we will support children at home with continued education.
Google Classrooms
All children at St. John's have a user name and password to access google classrooms. All children have had these since July 2020.
Teachers use google classrooms in school and are using google classroom to help with normal class work as well as setting homework that can be done on google classrooms and using it to provide remote learning when required.
Children can access google classrooms on lots of different computers including Chrome books, PC's and Apple laptops and computers.
Google classrooms is also used by Belper Secondary school therefore in using it at St. John's as well we hope that this continuity helps many families and children.
