We use Studybugs which you can either download on your phone or register on the Studybugs Website.  It is an efficient and secure system for reporting your child’s absence from school. All parent communications are also sent via Studybugs.  

Our Payment App - ParentPay

We use ParentPay for payments to the school for school dinners and school trips. We will also ask you to give consent for school trips on ParentPay.
