Frequently Asked Questions

What is MyChildAtSchool (MCAS)?

Data about all our students, staff and parent contacts is held securely on a school management information system called Bromcom. MCAS is an online portal that enables parents to view their child’s school information in real time via any modern web browser (e.g. Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc.) and for today’s busy parents, an App (for Android or iOS).

​​

Why are we using MCAS?

We are moving away from multiple online systems to a ‘one stop shop’, this will make information sharing and communication much simpler for all.  As you can expect with such a significant amount of data being transferred for staff, students, and parents this must be managed carefully and in a staged way.  Therefore, we are releasing functionality of Bromcom in manageable steps. ​

​

What can I see?

Anytime, live access to announcements, attendance, parental consent, clubs, trips and Wrap Around Care. With the potential for more to follow in the future. 

​​

Is it easy to use?

Yes, there is a very user-friendly dashboard with all your child’s information on it.  Click on the ‘More’ button in each area to expand to more detail.
