Below are the ways in which you can communicate with the school and the school will communicate with parents:
Email to the school office: oldwayoffice@rivieraet.co.uk if your child is ill or need to contact a member of the senior leadership team
Seesaw
All parents have access to a seesaw account to communicate with class teachers. Teaching staff will communicate messages to the class and share learning through this platform.
Regular newsletters
This is emailed out and contains weekly updates on what has happened in the school and upcoming events. Newsletters can be found at: Oldway Newsletters
There is also a trust newsletter for parents produced at the end of each half term. This includes stories and events from across all trust schools and can be found on the Riviera Education Trust website. A link to the latest newsletter will be emailed to parents via our Management Information System, Arbor.
Letters
There will be times that we need to email you about specific events or information. This will be emailed through our Management Information System, Arbor. Some letters are also stored in the Letters folder of each year group page on the school website.
