St Bega’s Communication - How we keep you informed.

Our Communication

At St Bega’s, we use a combination of Seesaw, Arbor and Facebook to ensure we reach as many families as possible.

Seesaw allows us to share classroom updates, pupil work and learning resources f=directly with parents and carers, creating a strong link between home and school.

Arbor is our main whole school platform for important notices, letters, event dates and payments, ensuring parents have access to essential information.

Facebook helps us share news, celebrations and reminders in a more informal and accessible way, keeping our wider school community engaged.

By using these three channels together, we make sure every family stays informed and connected.
