We are always looking at ways to improve communication with parents and get information to you quickly. We have recently upgraded our Management Information System; the new system allows us to contact parents win a more streamlined and efficient way. We may use AI tools to support writing in our communications.
We use the following systems in school to communicate with parents and carers:
Bromcom MCAS (MyChildAtSchool)
The My Child at School (MCAS) app is Bromcom's parent portal that provides real-time access to your child's school information. Unlike other school apps, MCAS updates live, meaning you see information as soon as it's entered by the school.
📢 Important Notice for Parents: Oakwood is now using the Bromcom MCAS app for all future communication with parents. It is essential that you download and install the app following the steps below.
Evidence for Learning
We have parent access to the Evidence for Learning App (EfL), this app allows parents to view children's evidence and also upload photos and evidence from home.
The app is accessible from all tablets and phones and it allows you to see photos and comments to keep you up to date. It also allows you to comment on your child’s learning and upload your own photos or comments about activities at the weekend or significant events that can then be shared with the class.
We will also send information by:
Email – Please ensure your email address is up to date. (This can be done by using MCAS or by contacting the school office)
School Money
This is for all parents and is the payment system for school expenses, such as lunches, trips
