Our Learning
Online Learning
At Veritas Primary Academy, we use technology to enhance learning both in school and at home. Our online learning platforms provide children with additional opportunities to practise skills, consolidate understanding, access high-quality resources and celebrate their learning. Technology is carefully integrated into our curriculum to support engagement, independence and achievement for all pupils.
Supporting Learning Beyond the Classroom
Online learning is available throughout the academic year and forms an important extension of our classroom curriculum. Teachers regularly use digital platforms to share learning activities, provide feedback, communicate with families and give children opportunities to revisit and strengthen key knowledge and skills.
Our online learning provision aims to:
- Reinforce and extend classroom learning.
- Develop children's independence and confidence when using technology.
- Provide engaging opportunities to practise key skills.
- Support communication between home and school.
- Ensure learning remains accessible for all pupils.
- Provide personalised support where needed, including for children with SEND.

Seesaw
Seesaw is our primary online learning platform. Teachers use Seesaw to set learning activities, share resources and provide feedback. Children can respond in a variety of ways, including drawing, typing, recording audio and uploading photographs of their work. Parents can also view their child's learning journey and celebrate their achievements.
Google Classroom
Google Classroom provides a secure online environment where learning materials, assignments and resources can be shared. It gives pupils access to additional learning opportunities and enables teachers to provide guidance and feedback when required.
Class Dojo
Class Dojo strengthens communication between home and school. We use the platform to share important messages, celebrate successes and keep families informed about learning and school life.
Additional Online Learning Resources
To further support learning, pupils have access to a range of high-quality educational platforms and resources, including:
- Times Tables Rock Stars (Years 3-6)
- NumBots (Reception to Year 2)
- White Rose Maths
- BBC Bitesize
- Oak National Academy
These resources provide engaging practice activities, instructional videos and curriculum-aligned content that children can access both in school and at home.
Supporting All Learners
At Veritas, we recognise that every child learns differently. Many of the digital tools we use include accessibility features such as voice recording, text-to-speech and alternative ways of recording responses. For pupils with additional needs, learning can be adapted and personalised to ensure every child can access the curriculum successfully.
Working in Partnership with Parents
Parents and carers play a vital role in supporting online learning. Through our digital platforms, families can:
- View learning activities and resources.
- Celebrate their child's achievements.
- Communicate with teaching staff.
- Support children in completing learning beyond the school day.
Staying Safe Online
Online safety is an important part of our curriculum and school culture. We teach children how to use technology responsibly, keep personal information secure and behave respectfully online. We also work closely with parents to promote safe and positive digital habits both in school and at home.
Learning Anytime, Anywhere
Our online learning offer helps ensure that learning does not stop when the school day ends. By combining high-quality classroom teaching with carefully selected digital resources, we enable pupils to practise, explore and deepen their learning while strengthening the partnership between school and home.
