Learning Journey lets you keep a light record of what happened on a session day and share it with families. It is designed for Forest School style provision: quick, natural, and centred on attendance, moments and reflections rather than formal assessment.
Families can use it as a record of the sessions their child attended. Notes and photos can be added when useful, but they are not required for a session to appear.
In the tenant dashboard, open Learning Journey from the main menu.

Learning Journey is based on a specific session date.

Draft entries are not shown to families. Published notes are visible to the relevant families.
Families see Learning Journey from their parent dashboard.
