Google Workspace for Education

At St Mary's Catholic Junior School, we use Google Workspace for Education, and we are seeking your permission to provide and manage a Google Workspace for Education account for your child. Google Workspace for Education is a set of education productivity tools from Google including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Classroom, and more used by tens of millions of students and teachers around the world. At St Mary's Catholic Junior School, students will use their Google Workspace for Education accounts to complete assignments, communicate with their teachers, sign into their Chromebooks, and learn 21st century digital citizenship skills. 

The notice below provides answers to common questions about what Google can and can’t do with your child’s personal information, including:

• What personal information does Google collect?
• How does Google use this information?
• Will Google disclose my child’s personal information?
• Does Google use student personal information for users in K-12 schools to target advertising?
• Can my child share information with others using the Google Workspace for Education account?

Please read it carefully, let us know of any questions, and then sign below to indicate that you’ve read the notice and give your consent. If you don’t provide your consent, it will not be possible to create a Google Workspace for Education account for your child. A large number of our lessons in Computing rely upon these Additional Services, mostly using CS First and Google Maps, and by consenting your child will have full access to all of these opportunities within Computing lessons.
