Seesaw at Ysgol Y Bryn

At Ysgol Y Bryn, we are committed to strengthening the connection between school and home, ensuring that families are actively involved in their children's learning journey. To enhance our communication and share the wonderful work our pupils do, we have introduced Seesaw—a secure and interactive platform designed to connect families with their child’s learning in real-time.

What is Seesaw?

Seesaw is an online platform that allows pupils to showcase their learning through photos, videos, drawings, and voice recordings. Teachers can upload work, celebrate achievements, and provide feedback—all within a safe and controlled environment. Parents and guardians can access their child's digital learning journal directly from their phone, tablet, or computer, making it easier than ever to stay informed and engaged.

The Benefits of Seesaw

• 📸 See Learning in Action – Families receive direct updates, photos, and videos of their child's learning, giving a real-time glimpse into the classroom experience.

• 📩 Instant Communication – Important messages and announcements from the school will be sent through Seesaw, ensuring parents receive them directly.

• ✅ Simple and Secure – Seesaw is a closed platform, meaning only parents and carers linked to a child’s account can view their posts. It is fully GDPR compliant, ensuring data is handled safely.

• 🎉 Encouraging Pupil Engagement – Children take pride in sharing their learning, which boosts confidence and encourages reflection on their progress.

• 🌍 Connecting Home and School – Parents can respond to updates, celebrate achievements, and support their child's learning journey from anywhere.

How Seesaw Will Help Us Moving Forward

By using Seesaw, we aim to:
✔️ Improve the flow of communication between school and home.
✔️ Reduce the reliance on paper-based newsletters and letters.
✔️ Ensure families stay up-to-date with school events, activities, and learning.
✔️ Provide a more interactive and engaging way for children to share their experiences.
