The most direct way to receive messages from the school will be through the MyEd app.
We’re fully committed to using MyEd; it reduces the number of emails you receive and the amount of printing while still keeping you in touch with what’s going on at school, additional bonus – it saves the school money. The app gives you direct access to your child’s attendance, their timetable, absence records, achievements, behaviour reports and much more.

The MyEd App is available for both Apple iOS and Android devices and can be found on either the Apple App Store or on Google Play by searching for MyEd.
Once you have installed and opened MyEd, search for your child’s name and follow the simple instructions to identify yourself. We would be delighted if you would download the app, and if you do have any concerns or queries, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
If you do not have access to email, you can opt to continue to receive paper copies from the Academy. Please still supply us with your mobile numbers, as we are able to send text messages in certain circumstances.
