MCAS (My Child at School)
To provide parents and carers with information about your child, we use MCAS (My Child at School).
MCAS allows you to review your child's attendance, view key information such as your child's timetable and club enrolment. You can also keep your details up to date on our records. We also use the app for most communication and alerts.
Parents have received emails with details on how to activate your account. If you have not, please see the information below.
