Digital Learning

A Google School - Since 2012, embracing digital technologies has been at the forefront of an innovative approach to education at JHGS. Over the years we have embedded a range of techniques and solutions into our teaching and learning. As a school we utilise ‘Google for Education’ to enable us to deliver this through a range of education specific apps. These include but are not limited to;

Google Classroom - Virtual working environments for all classes, allowing sharing of resources and collaboration between teachers and boys. All homework is set through Google Classroom, and parents are invited to receive a weekly email summary of work set for their son.

Google Drive - An unlimited storage drive, and platform for sharing learning resources and real time collaborative working.

GMail - All boys are assigned their own email account, to allow communication with staff and peers, and receive updates regarding shared resources and upcoming submissions.

Google Meet - A secure online meeting environment, used extensively by the whole school community during the school closure period in 2020 to deliver lessons, small group and individual tutorials, facilitate extra-curricular groups such as the Pratchett Debating Society, and even hold an alternative Sports Day.

In addition to a number of staff members achieving Google Educator level 1 and level 2 accreditation; lead student practitioners (our ‘Google Greats’) work across the school to support the whole JHGS community in using GSuite.
