Google Classroom

To access Google Classroom:

Go to classroom.google.com (we recommend doing this on a laptop, but this can also be accessed by downloading the following apps on a tablet or phone if needed: Google Docs & Google Classroom). You may need to sign out of your personal Google accounts before signing into Google Classroom.
Login using the @valenceprimaryschool.com email address and password given to your child
(example: Username: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Password: 1234)
Select your child’s class and select ‘classwork’ at the top. This is where your child’s teacher will post activities and lessons.
Please submit your child’s work using the ‘turn in’ button within the assignment.

We do recognise that this may not be fully accessible to all families and that there may be technical difficulties accessing and completing the work online. Please contact the school for further support.

Google Classroom Signing-in Troubleshooting

Keep an eye on what you are typing in, we use two layers of authentication which will mean typing the email address twice before entering your password on some devices.
If Google Classroom asks you for a Code to join a class you are more than likely not signed in on the pupil's account, ensure you sign out of any personal accounts and sign in as the pupil.
If you have trouble signing in on a PC/Laptop/Mac we recommend using a Private Window to sign in, this will allow all other Google accounts on the device and let you sign in with ease. There are links below on how to do this depending on which browser you are using.
- Microsoft Edge - Browse InPrivate in Microsoft Edge
- Google Chrome - Browse in private - Computer - Google Chrome Help
- FireFox - Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history | Firefox Help (mozilla.org)
- Safari - Use Private Browsing in Safari on Mac – Apple Support (UK)
We have had some issues with Samsung mobiles & tablets, if you experience issues on a Samsung device we recommend installing a new browser specifically to use for Google Classroom. You can use Edge or Chrome, just choose the one you do not already use and avoid signing in on a personal Google account.
