Parent Communications
My Child at School (MCAS)
We would like to introduce you to the My Child At School (MCAS) app. MCAS is part of Bromcom, it is an electronic communication platform which links directly to our school data systems to ensure contact details are up to date and information is received quickly. It will allow you to view up to date information about your child whilst also receiving messages and notifications from us.
My Child at School is beneficial to you because:
- Messages will get to you reliably
- We can send messages directly to mums and dads at the same time
- You will quickly know about important or urgent messages
- Everything is in one place, communications, school meals, trips, clubs and parents evening bookings.
- You can send messages to the school office using the app/website
Instead of accessing many different websites, MCAS allows parents to manage everything in one place. Parents can:
- Read messages sent from school and send messages to school
- View your child's attendance
- Book and pay for your child's school meals
- Pay for Kidz Biz sessions
- Pay for school trips and visits
- Update important information for your child
- Book parents evening appointments
- View your child's end of year report
It is essential that any adult with parental responsibility for the child activates their account. The app is available for download from the Apple Store or Android Store (QR Codes are available below) There is also a desktop version which can be accessed via an internet browser.
If you have any queries, please contact the school office team or alternatively help guides for parents can be accessed here: For Parents - Bromcom.

Parent View
Parent View is an online facility launched by Ofsted in October 2011 that allows parents and carers to give their views of our school at any time of the school year. The questionnaire is also the main mechanism for parents to give their views to inspectors about their child’s school at the time of a school inspection.
The questionnaire can be accessed directly at Parent View - Ofsted or from the home page of Ofsted’s website.
How to register on Parent View
To register on the Parent View site, parents must initially enter an email address, and confirm that they are a parent or carer. They will also be asked to clarify how many schools their children attend (allowing for different children at different schools). An email is then sent to the specified email address to verify the account. On verification, users then select a secure password for their account.
The Ofsted website has a brief introductory video demonstrating Parent View to show users how to register, complete the questionnaire and set up alerts about schools.
Parent View questions
Once your login has been activated, you can follow the instructions on the screen and indicate whether you strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree or don’t know in response to 11 short statements. Question 12 asks whether you would recommend the school to other parents.
