Communication with Parents

Dear Parent/Carer,

Communication with Parents

We are making an important change in how we communicate with families from 16th December 2025.

How will communication work going forward?

  • All communication will be sent via MCAS and parental email
  • Text messages will only be used in an absolute emergency and by exception

MCAS (MyChildAtSchool) will become our main platform for sharing updates, reports, and key information.

Why MCAS?
MCAS provides a secure and convenient way for you to:

  • Access your child’s reports and attendance
  • Receive important messages and updates
  • Manage school-related information in one place

What do you need to do?
If you have not yet registered for MCAS, please do so as soon as possible to ensure you continue to receive all essential communications.

How to register:

Thank you for your support in making this transition smooth for everyone.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr C Ballard | Academy Principal
