The school uses various systems and apps to communicate important information to parents/carers throughout the year.

Some of these you will be asked to create accounts for (e.g.)  the 'SIMS Parent App' (to access your child's school reports and emergency contact details) and the two online payment platforms - iPay (used for school catering only) and ParentPay (used for all other payments, including School trips/Events/Resources).

You will automatically be enroled on other communication systems (e.g.) 'In Touch' (used to email general letters home) and 'Evolve' (used for booking school trips).

All new parents/carers will be contacted (between July and October) with full sign up instructions where necessary.

Further details of the systems we use are available here
