Tapestry is an online, media-sharing platform that we use to assess pupil progress and to share photos, videos and pieces of work with families. We have had some amazing feedback from lots of parents about the use of Tapestry. We understand how valuable it is for you to see what your child is learning at school.

You can download the Tapestry app on your Smartphone or tablet.

If you are unsure of login details please contact your child’s class teacher to arrange a re-activation email to be sent to you. Keep an eye on your emails and junk mail if you have requested this.

Liking and Commenting

When you logon you will see a list of all the observations that we have uploaded of your child- the most current ones appear at the top. Click on each one to view the media and read the comment.

It is really helpful for us if you use the ‘like’ and ‘comment’ features to let us know when you have seen observations. This is a great place for you to share things with use too for example ‘X does this at home too’, or ‘at home x finds it a little harder to focus on this task’.

Please note: Tapestry is not a conversation platform. We do encourage you to comment on things but teachers will not reply, therefore if you have questions please use email or phone call to communication with the class team.

Adding Observations

There are lots of things that you can add to Tapestry; photos, videos, a written observation, a photo of a piece of Art work etc.

It is a great chance for you to share weekend news, holiday news, new skills or just a nice photo or video with us. It is lovely for the children to share these with their peers in school too.

Steps for adding an observation:

1. Click on ‘add observation’
