Forwarding Emails in Gmail

Whilst it is recommended that you sign in to your new Google account frequently to ensure you get best use out of its features such as Google Drive and Google Groups – we also want to make it as easy as possible for you to get access to your incoming mail. If you feel you would benefit from forwarding on emails to your own private email account you can follow these instructions. Before doing so you should carefully consider the implications of this as your Parent Council email address will be published and made available to the entire Parent Forum.
