MCAS for Parents
Download our FREE School App
My Child At School (MCAS) is a free online Portal and App that enables parents to view key information about their children and the school, and to easily contact the school with queries or to report absence.
The best way to access the portal is the My Child At School Parent App, available to download on iOS and Android devices.
Alternatively, the portal can also be accessed via an internet browser using a laptop or computer.
Initially, the My Child At School portal will provide:
- Ability to update key household/child information
Moved house? Changed phone number? Tell us easily through the app.
- Real time rewards information
See which school rewards your children are receiving. - Assessment data and reports
Easy access to school reports, and other assessment data throughout the year. - Parental consents
See what you’ve consented to, and provide consent for your children or their information to be used in different situations. - Attendance
See children’s attendance data and report any absences. - Student timetable
See timetables and teachers.
As we gradually migrate our services and practice over to My Child At School, we will switch on more features including behaviour data, detentions, booking clubs/trips and homework.
