My Child at School (MCAS) Application

The MCAS application offers a convenient and efficient way for you to stay engaged with your child's education. You will be able to access various features in the app including attendance, class information, co-curricular (clubs and interventions), examination data, options information, parental consent, reports, and student timetables.

Once you have installed the MCAS app, we encourage all parents and carers to ensure that you check your MCAS account regularly to stay up to date with announcements from the school.
