Schoolcomms
To keep your child(ren) safe and ensure their well-being, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our links with you and keep everyone up-to-date and well informed. As sending written information home is sometimes unreliable; we use Schoolcomms, an electronic school communication system. This will enable you to receive information from school quickly and reliably. We can send letters by email to your inbox and short messages directly to your mobile phone as a text message.
You will:
-
Receive letters more reliably and promptly
-
See letters in your inbox like any other email
-
Get a short text message if we need to contact you urgently
-
Be able to reply by email or text
We can:
-
Send more letters and information regarding your child(ren)
-
Save money on admin time, printing and paper
-
Contact you urgently when necessary
The school will use the email address and mobile number that we hold for the Priority one contact(s) in our database. If you are not certain that we have your correct details, please check with the school office. If you change your contact details please let the school know as soon as possible. Your details will not be used for any other purpose than school business. You will not receive any spam or marketing material.
