Pupils can access and work on tasks without issue. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the way this is accessed through Hwb in Wales is awkward but the software itself is useful. > > A useful addition to support the teacher’s administration and organisation of a class’ work, especially homework. ----- ### "An excellent option when schools are closed" — 4.0/5 > **Emma** | *20 July 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Classroom offers great value for money as there is no cost and it is included with your G-suite. As with most Google products it is easy to use and set up, and quick to get going on. It is regularly used by both primary and secondary schools to offer remote learning when schools are closed due to various reasons, taking off during Covid19, providing student and teacher interaction. It's features allow classwork to be easily shared and completed by students who can work independently and collaboratively. > > **Cons**: Although Google Classroom is an excellent alternative for teachers and schools udring closures and does offer that remote face to face option, it can not replace a physical classroom where available, and can mean too much screentime for students. > > My overall experience with Google Classroom is a positive one, meaning children can continue to learn and get touch points with their teachers throughout adverse times. ----- ### "Google Classroom for the win\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ro** | *22 January 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Classroom is fantastic, it’s so very easy to use. Students can get in touch with their teacher with no problems. If there was any issues like bugs etc customer support is on it like a flash. There is also a lot of features and tools which are very handy. > > **Cons**: I can’t say a bad word about Google Classroom. It really is a great resource for students and tutors. > > Excellent, easy to navigate. Everything runs smoothly when I want it too. My kids have got on board with it and now start using it to speak with their teachers etc. ----- ### "Great way to keep things organized in your Classroom\!" — 5.0/5 > **Michelle** | *13 May 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Classroom has many useful features and options for teachers/students from assignments to announcements to discussion. Integrations to our Gradelink system makes it so teachers can grade in Classroom and it auto-transfers to our SIS. Extremely helpful\! The process to return digital submissions can feel a little arduous but once learned is worth the extra step. > > **Cons**: The assignment return process. It seems a bit much but is a necessary step to getting students their files back again. > > Overall, Google classroom has been a very helpful addition to our school tools making submission and grading (even with comments) super easy\! ----- ### "A Practical LMS that Gets the Job Done" — 4.0/5 > **Tersen** | *27 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is clean and intuitive. Teachers can set up classes, post assignments, and organize materials quickly without a steep learning curve. Our school already utilizes Google Drive, Docs, etc. so it is a natural fit. You also cannot beat the price (free), which gives it a leg up on competitors. > > **Cons**: Its simplicity is also its biggest weakness. It is lacking in advanced functionality such as possessing a less robust gradebook and limited customization. > > Classroom is a streamlined platform that is ideal for schools looking for a free, easy to use LMS that is tied into Google's ecosystem. It is particularly strong for straightforward assignment management and basic student-teacher communication. However, if your needs include advanced analytics, rich built in interaction tools, or highly customizable workflows, Classroom may feel a bit limited. ----- Page: 1 / 117\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/186631/google-classroom?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/186631/google-classroom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
