At each of the parent information events listed above we will be launching an App called My Child At School (MCAS). The MCAS App allows parents to see information about their child being updated live each day, including their timetable, attendance and behaviour events.

You will receive an invitation to sign-up to MCAS by email on the same day as the parent information event scheduled for your child’s year group.

Remember that the doors open at 8.10am and pupils are expected to arrive before 8.20am, with those arriving after 8.20am receiving a late detention to serve at the end of the day.

Please also check that your child has all of the equipment that they require for school each day:

• Black pens
• Green pens
• Pencils
• Ruler
