Improving Communication
We are always seeking ways to improve our communication systems and wish to use technology wherever possible. We currently use an emailing system called Schoolcomms, which is a free service and one we will continue to use when we need to send you detailed information such as reports and letters. We now wish to extend this service to include the use of text messaging, which will be a more efficient way of communicating shorter messages.
Previously, there was a cost implication when using the texting service but now that has changed. The new service is called ‘SCHOOL GATEWAY’ and in order to use it you will need to download the School Gateway App.
If you have a smartphone, you will need to download for FREE the ‘School Gateway’ app from your app store (Android and iPhone). By doing this we can send you text messages and avoid the cost, AND you can message back for FREE.
It’s quick and easy to upload:-
*Search for the School Gateway App in your app store (make sure it has the School Gateway icon)
*Register as a New User – providing your email address and mobile telephone number
*A PIN will be sent to you via text
*Enter the PIN to LOGIN
Ideally, we would like to be able to contact all parents using this method. If you do not have a smartphone, then you will still receive text messages from the school but there will be a cost to the school.
Where both parents wish to receive emails, it will be necessary for you both to download the School Gateway App.
Many thanks for your continued co-operation.
Kind regards
Mr M Murphy, Executive Principal
