Communications & Online Payments System

Dear Parents and Carers

Improve your links with school

The school has implemented  Schoolcomms, a school communication system. This will enable you to receive all your communications from school quickly and reliably. We can send letters by email to your inbox and short messages directly to your mobile phone as a text message, or if you have either an Apple or Android mobile phone, by app message.  To download the App go to either www.schoolgateway.com/apple or www.schoolgateway.com/android.

You will:

         Receive letters more reliably and promptly

         See letters in your inbox like any other email

         Get a short text message or app message if we need to contact you urgently

         Still get paper letters if you don’t have email

         Not need to rely on your child for delivery

         Be able to reply by email, text or app message

         Be able to give parental consent for some items online

         Be able to pay for items with a credit or debit card

We can:

         Send more letters and information

         Save money on admin time, printing and paper

         Contact you urgently when necessary

The school will use the email address and mobile number that we hold for the Priority one contact(s) in our database.  If you are not certain that we have your correct details, please contact the school. If you change your contact details please let the school know as soon as possible.

Schoolcomms is registered with the data protection act. All information you provide will be kept private and will not be passed on to any other organisation. Your details will only be used for the purpose of school business. You will not receive any SPAM or marketing material.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the school office on 01258 880501.

Yours sincerely,

Sarah Sherwin

Business and Finance Manager
