Seesaw

In our classroom we use an app called Seesaw. This platform will help you stay connected with your child's learning journey by giving you a window into our classroom.

Seesaw is a simple and secure digital portfolio where your child will be able to share their work with you. They can post photos, videos, drawings, and more. It's a fantastic way to celebrate their successes and see their progress throughout the year. You will only see the work that your own child posts, and the platform is designed with student privacy as a top priority.

As a family member, you will get notifications when your child adds new work, and you can "like" or leave comments to encourage them. It's a great way to start conversations at home about what they're learning in school.

Before your child starts with us you will receive a link to join their class on Seesaw then you'll be able to select your child's profile to follow. This will be approved by staff members to ensure only approved family members are able to view children's learning journeys.

Uniform

At Hartlebury CE Primary School, while wearing a school uniform is not mandatory for our youngest learners, we believe it offers a wonderful way to foster a sense of community and belonging right from the start. Our uniform is ideal for the busy and creative activities of Early Years. It not only prepares children for their journey through school but also helps to create a shared identity, making every child feel part of our special school family.

Our Uniform suppliers are FM Branding

Our children had a fantastic time “bending the rules” during our Bend the Rules Day! From whacky hair and non-uniform to bringing in cuddly toys, the smiles were everywhere 😊 Thank you so much for your support – together we raised an amazing £285 for school resources! 👏
