My Child at School (MCAS) Parent Guide

Dear Parent/Carer, 

Introductory Letter to 'My Child At School' (MCAS)

As you are aware, we are now using a cloud-based school management system called Bromcom.  As the system is cloud-based we can offer you the ability to interact with the information we hold about your child with an app called 'My Child At School', also referred to as MCAS. 

MCAS is available for both IOS and Android mobile devices or desktop web view.  This will allow us to contact you with important school messages and/or announcements, share school documents and publish your child's reports.  You will also be able to see the personal information we hold about you and your child; you may update this information at any time, which helps to keep our records up-to-date.  Parents' evenings, dinner money and all school payments will also run through MCAS eventually. 

We will be launching the app shortly and all of the above will be introduced in stages; you will be able to see the attendance, behaviour (including detentions) and timetable modules to start with.  We will be rolling this out by year groups throughout the next week and you should receive login information by Monday 24th March 2025.  If you have not received anything by this date, please contact the school office who will be able to assist you. 

Please note, in the meantime we will still be using Parentpay for making payments.  You will be notified once we have launched this function on MCAS, which is likely to be in September. 

Once you have downloaded the MCAS app, it is important that notifications are enabled on your device (via settings).  This will ensure that you receive all important messages and communications from the Academy and that you are kept up-to-date with your child's educational journey. 

Below is a link which will take you to the MCAS Parent Guide, which provides further information in terms of the functionality of MCAS and we would encourage you to read this:

Yours faithfully,
