‘School Gateway’ will continue to expand over the forthcoming months. 'School Gateway' allows us to 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 September 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 from Google 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.
