HOMEWORK
At Wath Academy we use Satchel One, formerly known as Show My Homework (SMHW) for setting most homework tasks. It is an online tool which shows the homework created and published by teachers. Click the Satchel One icon above to log in. If you are having difficulty logging in, please read the help guide below.
How Does it Work?
Once a student joins Wath Academy, they will be given a school user account / email account with a password that gives them access to Satchel One and other school resources. Parents log in slightly differently and will receive a unique Parent Code PIN number to sign into Satchel One with. The Satchel One can be accessed via their website https://www.satchelone.com/login and the Satchel One App is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Help and Support
There is unlimited support for students and parents from the experts at Satchel One, they have pages offering support for parents and support for students. If you are having trouble accessing Satchel One please read the contents of these help pages first. If you continue to experience difficulties you can contact the school's ICT Support Team at helpdesk@wathacademy.com.

Q: My family share a laptop or desktop computer; how do we stop it logging on automatically as one person?
Very often in web browsers we save passwords so websites automatically log in. With some websites such as Satchel One this can be a problem as students, their brothers, sisters and their parents may need to log in on the same device. Remember to log out when you've finished and avoid saving the password in your browser. If you're having issues logging in you can test whether remembered passwords are the problem by using an 'in private' browsing tab in Edge or 'incognito mode' tab in Chrome. 'In private' or 'incognito' browsing does not store cookies or use remembered password information so this avoids automatically signing in. Remember that students must choose the 'Sign in with Office 365' option for Satchel One on their sign-in page.
