We are pleased to advise that we are introducing a new service – ‘School Gateway’. This means that we can communicate with parents more quickly and cost effectively via email, text and smartphone app.
We will introduce the services in stages.
Stage 1 (Now) - Messaging
Stage 2 (Now) - Online payments for visits and uniform
Stage 3 (scheduled for January 2018) - Attendance reporting and ability to update contact details
We will send you details of how to use the services as we reach each stage.
If you have a smartphone, please download the app fromGoogle Play or the Apple App Store.
Stage 1- Messaging
Step 1 - Download the ‘School Gateway’ app
Step 2 - Select ‘I’m a new user’, enter your email and mobile number – your PIN number will then be sent to your phone
Step 3 - Enter your PIN and login
That is it - you will now receive messages from us through the smartphone app. Your phone will buzz/ring just like when a text message arrives. So you will:
- receive instant notification of messages
- receive messages even when there is no mobile signal – provided you’re connected to Wi -Fi
- not be charged for sending replies back to the school
- be able to store and receive messages all in one place
If your mobile phone is not able to download the app, we will continue to send messages via text.
