Through the School Gateway app or Website, you can view up-to-date information regarding your child, such as attendance, behaviour and achievement points, timetables, reports and payments for lunch and trips. Over the next year, we will be taking an eco-friendlier approach with School/ Home communication, so letters and reports will be sent to you electronically via Schoolcomms and e-mail rather than via your child or through the post. This will also ensure that communication gets to you directly and promptly. If you have not signed up to the School Gateway yet, you can do so by using the following instructions: The set-up process is simple and will take no more than a couple of minutes: 1.
