Online Parental Engagement
MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) is an online portal for parents that enables you to view your child's performance at school in real-time via the internet. The facility allows you to access your child's homework, attendance, behaviour, achievement, and reports, whenever you wish. You no longer need to wait for reports to be sent out, you can check whenever you want for the latest available information about your child.

Parents Evening
Booking your appointment using ParentsBooking
Whilst staff are always available to discuss any issus or concerns you may have , each year group has a designated Parents Evening, giving all parents / carers the opportunity to check on the progress of your child and gain a review.
We currently use an online app called ParentsBooking which allows us not only to book appointments but also to conduct video/voice calls to parents with minimal set up, should we need to.
Before each designated Parent's Evening, we will contact you inviting you to make an appointment with your child's teacher. It will be at this point we will be able to tell you with certainty whether the evening will be in person, on the school site, or via video link.
Please find a link to the website here PARENTSBOOKING.
