At Robert Shaw we send out communication via e-mail, text & Class Dojo. Class Dojo is our main platform, where you can see updates from the Class Teacher, communicate with the team in the School Office, access a School Calendar of events and keep up to date with the general day-to-day happenings in school and more. We are a cashless school, with the exception of fundraising days and school fayres. All payments are made via an platform called School Gateway.
Payments- School Gateway Application
School Gateway is the application service that we use at Robert Shaw to accept payments online for items such as dinner money, school trips and book bags. Using a secure phone application called School Gateway, you are able to pay online using your credit/debit card.
We can not take payments for these things in cash or a card machin-payment are made through the School Gateway app only. If you are having trouble using the app, please contact the School Office. You can access our Parent/Carer letter below to scan a QR code to take you to the right place to download the application on your mobile phone

Messages and updates- Class Dojo
Class Dojo is a school communication platform that links teachers, students and families securely by sharing classroom learning at home through photographs, videos and messages.
You can use it on any device, the free mobile app for IOS or Android or from a computer at www.classdojo.com. When your child joins Robert Shaw, you will be sent a unique code and asked to sign up using an email address and to create a password before you select your child from the class list. When connected, you will be able to access your own child’s online portfolio and any messages or homework tasks the teacher shares via their class story.
Messages
Messages allow teachers and parents to communicate directly. Staff will aim to respond to any messages within 24 hours but those sent out of hours may not be actioned until the next working day.
Dojo or Monster Points
Teachers use Class Dojo to promote positive behaviours in class. Each child gets a monster avatar and teachers award Dojos for things such as meeting targets, handing in homework or being kind.
All information you give will be kept private and the Class Dojo privacy policy states that no information will be shared.
