School Spider
Our main source of communication with parents is via the school communication School Spider. Parents will be invited to download and log onto the app when their child enrols at our school. Parents are kept informed by both email and by smartphone messaging which is received through the app on your device. Parents should make sure that the school office has the most up-to-date email address and mobile number before downloading the app. Please see the Parent Guide App for assistance in setting up.
School Money / Eduspot
School Money is a modern school payment to enable us to manage parental payments. With School Money's secure online payment portal, parents can pay for; school dinners; Nursery and Clubhouse sessions; school trips and other payments remotely using the app or the website. Parents will receive a welcome message to login when their child enrols at school. For further information please see the Parent Guide.
Google Classroom
Key Stage 2 teachers use Google Classroom as a means of sharing learning materials within class lessons where required. Work is also uploaded to the Google Classroom platform in circumstances where remote learning is required for individual or groups of pupils. Parents can access a designated 'Online Reading Journal' folder to update class teachers about their child's reading progress. Weekly spellings for children to practise at home are uploaded to a designated folder too. In Year 5 and Year 6, Maths and English homework tasks may also be uploaded via Google Classroom and feedback can be provided in the comment section of each task.
A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) guide to Google Classroom is attached.

Parents are kept regularly informed of their child's learning through the class blogs and Twitter pages. Class blogs are updated every Friday after school - including a summary of the learning that has taken place in that week, as well as any general reminders to be aware of for the following week. Class Twitter pages are also updated regularly throughout the week, including photographic evidence of the children's learning.
