ParentMail

As you will know, we are committed to improve the quality of our communication with parents.  However, you might also be aware that sending written information home can sometimes be rather ‘hit and miss' with information often going missing on the way! We are also increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the amount of paper we use.

To help with improvements in this area, the school has now signed up with a service called ParentMail®.  This serviced is already used by over 2,000 schools across the UK and it enables schools to send their letters and messages direct to parents by email and text message.  (We will however, and until further notice, continue to send paper messages home as well). We hope the result of this will be that you receive information from the school in a more reliable and efficient manner, and that you will no longer need to trawl through the contents of your children's school bags! This will include notification of student absence, notification of urgent/important messages, eg school closures, updates on trips, reminders for events and appointments, etc.

In order to use ParentMail® we need to collect parent email addresses and mobile telephone numbers and would ask you all to complete the form below.

Please be assured, the ParentMail® service is registered with the Data Protection Registrar and guarantees that all information supplied will be kept completely private. There is also NO advertising associated with the scheme and this is a FREE service to all parents. 

Important - School messages will be sent from the email address messages @parentmail.co.uk.  Please make sure you add this address to your email address books (or approved sender list) in order to prevent messages being blocked by your SPAM/JUNK filters. You cannot reply to this address or respond to text messages, so, for example, in the case of notifying us of your child's absence, you must continue to contact the school directly on 020 8951 5780.

Please return completed forms to the School Office.

Yours sincerely

Misha'al Nasser

School Business Manager
