The information below outlines what platforms we use across school to faciliating communciation and payments across school.
School Portal - (parent hub)
Parent Hub is the platform we use to send out all of our communication. Parents are required to download the APP and will be assigned various channels in the APP by the school administrator so that you can receive quick messages and updates. This may be to a whole school channel or to a specific class or year group.
ParentPay
This platform is to offer a cashless service to families for school meals, trips, or other events taking place at school. You will be able to make payments into your account to pay for the various items which appear on your account.
Childcare Bookings (OOSC)
All childcare bookings for Out of School Club and payments can be made through the Childcare Bookings portal. Please see the Out of School Club Platform for further information.
School Cloud (parents’ evening)
The school cloud is used for families to book their time allocations for parent’ evenings.
Whatsapp Class groups for parents:
Our Friends of St Marys (FoSM) have set up a Community group for every family in the school to join. School information can be shared on this. Each year group has a FoSM representative who will share information about fundraising events taking place.
Whatsapp is used by families but is not administered by the school itself.
Tapestry (Reception):
Reception use tapestry as a way of communicating the learnign taking palce in school as well as showing what is happening at home. All Reception parents will have a log in to access this APP and see their child's developments.
Staff emails:
All staff have their own school gmail email account that can be used to contact them. We politley ask that these are not used between the hours of 6pm and 8am. Staff will endevour to respond as soon as they can.
**We are in the process of joining a new online platform for all parents to see what is happening in their child's class via a new APP. This will replace our current twitter/X platform.
