We are pleased to let you know that our school now uses MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) as our main communication and trip/uniform payment system. MCAS allows parents and carers to stay connected with school life by providing quick access to messages, announcements and key information about your child.

Through the MCAS app, you can also make secure online payments for items such as school meals, trips and activities, making the process simpler and more convenient.

If you have not yet registered, please check your email (including junk/spam folders) for your MCAS registration link and follow the instructions to set up your account. The MCAS app is free to download from your app store.

Please note:

• New trip payments (including values week) will now be made through MyChildAtSchool.
• Dinner money will continue through ParentPay for the time being — we will inform you when this also transfers to BromCom.

For further details on how to use MCAS please find a useful guide here, MyChildAtSchool Parent Guide, however as an overview of key items here are some useful tips:
