Home Learning
Pupils can access home learning resources on any devices, laptop, desktop, non-school tablet, or even a phone.
If they need any help with passwords, they can email Mrs Stephenson (bev.stephenson@wellfieldmiddleschool.org.uk), or a message can be sent to the school via the SchoolGateway app.
Home Learning will be shared via Google Classroom.

In order to login to Google Classroom, they will need their school email address (firstname.lastname@wellfieldmiddleschool.org.uk) and password.
The student will need to join the class called ‘Year x Home Learning’
