How the Academy will contact families
Telephone: Any urgent matters will be communicated by a phone call to high priority parent or carer – if we cannot get hold of you, after 3 attempts we will leave a voice message or send a text message.
Email: We will send e-mails direct to parents/carers about specific information for your child. Emails will be sent to the email address you have supplied at enrollment. (Please ensure this is kept up to date). This is our preferred method of communication.
My Child at School (MCAS) App: The MCAS app allows two-way communication between the Academy and parents through your smartphone free of charge. For example, the academy will be able to send (and receive) messages; share important Academy news and updates; share key dates which can be added to your personal calendar and provide live attendance information for your child and details of upcoming events, clubs, and trips.

Please note – until your child is on roll at the school, no information will be live through the App.
WhatsApp: We have our own WhatsApp channel, @AstreaDearne, where we share regular academy wide updates and celebrations. https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaijQWc5fM5Ubb5NRL2Q
Class Charts: Class Charts is the main method of communication between school and home for tracking behaviour and rewards. The updates on this system are live. All scholars and parents will be provided with a login code. Please ensure that you have downloaded the app and can login to access this key information. Please contact the school if you do not have the code.
Weekly newsletter: Every Friday we will publish a newsletter to all families, providing updates on key events, activities and information for families and scholars. This will be sent by email and via our WhatsApp Channel to the contact addresses we have on the system.
