Otterburn Primary School and Nursery

3:15pm - 4:15pm, Tuesday 1st July 2025

We are pleased to invite you to a Doodle Information Session on Tuesday 1st July at 3:15pm. The session will be led by Mrs Tincombe, with Mrs Waddington and Mrs Spiller supervising the children during a free after-school club. Aimed at parents of children from Reception to Year 6, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn more about the Doodle programme and discover how you and your child can make the most of it at home. Please bring your mobile phone, as we will guide you through the process of linking your free parent account to your child’s account using the online Parent Dashboard and the DoodleConnect app. To save time, we ask that you download the app before attending. You may also find it beneficial to read through the information guide available on our school website and attached to this email.
