Class Dojo & Parent Pay

At Whaley Thorns Primary School, we use ClassDojo to reward children for excellence. All parents follow a link that connects them to their child's progress and learning in school.

ClassDojo is a communication app for the classroom. It connects teachers, parents, and students who use it to share photos, videos, and messages throughout the school day. They use ClassDojo to work together as a team, share in the classroom experience, and bring big ideas to life in their classrooms and homes.

​Children can collect and then spend their Dojos each term in our school shop. 

​Visit www.classdojo.com to find out more.
