Tapestry

Tapestry is our online learning journey tool. This supports effective communication between home and school. Please ensure you have provided a working email address to school in order for us to set up your Tapestry account. This is crucial for us to communicate with you with regards to any updates for transition in line with current government guidelines. Additionally, this will be a great way for us all to get to know each other with the current restrictions in place.
