My Child at School (MCAS)

In November, the school began the transition to a new communication tool - My Child at School, or MCAS. This is a web / app based service that we will use to communicate with you. Parents and students will each have their own accounts that they must activate. The school previously used the Edulink communication tool. During the transition process it is important that you don't delete the existing Edulink app, as for a short time, just to make sure that you don't miss out on any information, we will use both systems in tandem.

What is on there?

It will have lots of really useful information for students and their families to support them in their learning including:

Attendance and punctuality information
Homework
Behaviour and achievement information
Student timetable
Student grade collector reports
Parents Evening

Why does everyone need to use it?

This is how students will know about their homework and be able to organise themselves effectively.
It is an important way that parents can support their child in their learning as they can discuss homework / attendance / behaviour etc using up to date information.
The school uses it as a tool to communicate with families and will send messages via the app.
Parents can use it to communicate with school over issues such as attendance etc.
