    What is Seesaw and how do we use it?

    Seesaw is a digital learning portfolio that we use extensively throughout school.  Seesaw allows learning in the wider curriculum to be recorded in a creative, inclusive way, lessening workload for teachers and allowing for at a glance assessment of children’s acquisition of knowledge.

    • Written Notification: Parents wishing to withdraw their child from RE must submit a written notification to the Principal.
    • Reason for Withdrawal: While not mandatory, parents are encouraged to provide a reason for withdrawal.
    • Alternative Provision: During RE lessons, withdrawn pupils will be provided with suitable alternative activities.
