As a school, we use Google Workspace for Education. We use Google Classroom to set self-study and share information with students, as well as Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Sites.

Students have been set up with a school Google email account, which follows the format username@wildern.org. Their password is linked to their school login, so it is the same password they use to log on to any school PC. If they are unsure of their password, please contact the school IT helpdesk or email wildern@wildern.org to request a reset.

Google classroom and drive

• Google Classroom is a secure, web‑based platform that helps teachers manage classes, assignments, feedback, and communication in one place. Students can access announcements, resources, and assignments, and submit their work online. Only authorised users within Wildern School’s domain can access its Google Classrooms.

• Google Drive is a cloud-based storage service that lets students save files online and access them on any smartphone, tablet, or computer. Students can use Drive to securely upload files, edit them online, and easily collaborate with teachers and peers.

• Google Docs is a web-based office application that automatically saves your work to the cloud. It allows multiple people to edit documents simultaneously in real time, making it perfect for collaboration. Accessible from any device with an internet connection, it eliminates the need for manual saving and stores your complete version history. 

• Google Sites Every department has one to allow students to use and help them with their studies within and away from the classroom

Students should avoid sharing personal information online, including addresses, phone numbers, or school login details. Social media and app privacy settings should be checked regularly and kept private where possible. Location sharing should be disabled unless there is a clear, genuine reason for it.
