Accessing IT Resources
We have put together some information below that will hopefully resolve most issues with regards to accessing IT resources.
Academy email
To access your email you will need to log into the TLA Webmail.
This can be accessed at https://mail.tla.woodard.co.uk or the link on the school website
With the email system, the most common issue we are seeing is where students are using the email address instead of the username when logging in.
Your username is your first initial followed by your surname and your intake year.
Example.
John Smith, Year 8 = jsmith19
Fred Smith, Year 10 = fsmith17
Your email address is
Username@tla.woodard.co.uk
Username - InitialSurnameIntakeYear
Password - Same as you use to log onto school computers
When logging into the email system you will need to enter your username and not the email address.
Go4Schools Password Reset
If you are having difficulties accessing Go4Schools, then you can reset the password using the link on the following site
https://www.go4schools.com/students
Enter your TLA email address and then go to your TLA email account.
To access the TLA email please go to the following url
https://mail.tla.woodard.co.uk or follow the links on the TLA website
The username and password to access the email is the same as the one used to log onto the computers whilst in school.
Follow the instructions on the password reset email.
Google Classroom
To access google classroom, you will need to log in using the VLE
You can access the VLE by wither going to https://vle.tla.academy or the link on the school website.
Your username is your first initial followed by your surname and your intake year.
