At Bottesford Infants we use an online system of recording your child’s learning journey called ‘Tapestry’.  

Tapestry is a website which can be accessed on a computer or laptop, and also on any Apple or Android device such as a tablet or smart phone.  We have chosen this company because it is secure and is an exciting way of keeping track of your child’s development and their learning journey at our school.

We are able to instantly upload photos, videos and observations of your children. An email will alert you that something new has been added to your child’s Learning Journal.  You can then log on and view what your child has been up to.  A massive advantage of this system is that you can instantly add your own comments to entries, and can show your child’s online journey to members of the family who would not usually be able to attend sessions at school.  

The safeguarding of our children is very important to us.  Everything that is added to Tapestry will be added to our school account and can only be viewed by school staff that use the system, and also yourself, using your own log-in.  You will only have access to your child’s journal and this cannot be seen by other parents.  Also, it is crucial that you do not share photos or videos from your child’s book on social media or other online platform, which may feature children other than your own.  Any incidents where this confidentiality is broken will be dealt with very seriously and will result in your access to the system being withdrawn.

Please complete the following details to allow us to set up a Tapestry account for your child.  Simple user guides can be found on our website under the Parents section.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact the school office.
