Each Friday during term time, we send out 'The Bolingbroke Bolletin' (Bulletin) to all parents and carers. This contains upcoming dates for each year group, school events, news stories, and other important information.

The Bolletin was developed as a direct result of parent/carer feedback, with the aim of having all information in one place therefore limiting the need for multiple messages at other times.

All other communication is sent via the MCAS app.

My Child at School (MCAS) is our school app containing the following:

• messages to parents/carers
• school reports
• attendance
• behaviour points
• pupil timetables

MCAS links to our in-school Management Information System, Bromcom, and it's a great way to keep track of your child's school day and therefore have more clarity with regards to what they're doing well and what they can do to improve.

Step One - download the app
Search for MyChildAtSchool wherever you usually find apps (e.g. 'app store' for iPhone)

Step Two - activate your login
When we set you up on MCAS you will receive a separate email from MCAS/Bromcom with your School ID, Username, and Invitation Code. You will need all this information to create your account and login.

Your login details will only be valid for 4 hours when sent, so a prompt login is required in order to verify your account. 

The below guides will help you with getting set up:

Step Three - start using the app
We hope that parents and carers will find the information on the portal a useful tool to receive communication from the school and to see your child’s progress.
