During lockdowns and periods of self-isolation, our Academy moves online to offer a full and comprehensive learning experience for students through Microsoft Teams. Read through the information on this page to learn more about access, expectations, and more!



Thank you to Delta Don Valley for the helpful video! 

 

Accessing the Online Academy

All staff and students have a Microsoft 365 account that gives them full access to our Online Academy. To log in staff and students should click on the “Quick Links” tab at the bottom of the website.

What should students do at home?

The user account looks like username@gooleacademy.org.uk and passwords have been issued in school and personalised by students. Year 7 students have been given theirs in the first week of the academic year, and will need to change these when they first login. 

Password Reset

If a user forgets their password they can reset it by contacting a member of staff. 

All students should know their usernames and passwords. If you have any issues with this please email the appropriate person below detailing your child’s name and (if known) username:

Academy Email and User account info@gooleacademy.org.uk

Students can also use their Office365 details if they choose the “Sign in with Office 365” option.

Assessment & Progress

How will you assess my child’s work and progress?

Feedback can take many forms and may not always mean extensive written comments for individual children. For example, whole-class feedback or quizzes marked automatically via digital platforms are also valid and effective methods, amongst many others. 

Assessment of homework and assignments, and feedback will be given in line with the academy homework and marking policy

Additional Support SEND

How will you work with me to help my child who needs additional support from adults at home to access remote education?
