Below are the newsletters for this academic year.

E-Mail and Text Messaging System

We are delighted to inform you that we are now able to send messages, information and alerts home to parents via e-mail and text message thanks to a system called “Home Contact”. We intend to use this academic year as a trial to see how effective this idea will be. It will only work if it is used by enough families to make it viable. If it doesn’t take-off we will not renew our subscription next year.

“Home Contact” is a secure web based system designed specifically for schools and youth organisations to enable messages to be sent directly into parents’ e-mail and mobile inboxes. The school has now subscribed to use the system with the aim of helping us to get news and information to you in a more reliable and efficient manner. All we need now is parents’ to register so that we can begin to use the system.

The more parents that decide to sign up for “Home Contact” the greater the benefit is to the school. The aim is to reduce the amount of paper copies coming home and also to be able to let you know information quickly in an emergency.

We ask that you kindly follow the instructions below to register with “Home Contact”.

Getting started instructions:

Log onto www.homecontact.co.uk > click the “Register” button from the left hand navigation.

Enter your name & the school PIN number (below) in the fields. Then, tick the checkboxes to add your email address(es) and mobile number(s). Once done, click ‘Sign-Up’ to proceed.
Follow the on-screen instructions to find and pair your child(ren) with your account.
Once you have selected ALL your children in the school click ‘Next’ to complete the registration.
Your child pairing will now go to the school for authorisation and you should receive a welcome email from our system confirming your login details. You may need to check your spam/junk folder.
PIN Code: {51FRE}

Note: Ensure the address ‘messages@homecontact.co.uk’ is added to your contacts/safe/friends list.

If you are having trouble registering please e-mail support@homecontact.co.uk for help.

You may need to contact them via this e-mail address if you are already registered with “Home Contact” at another school. If you do not have access to the internet but still wish to sign up for the messaging service, then please contact the school for an alternative method of registering.

IMPORTANT: Please be assured that “Home Contact” treat the security of your data with the utmost importance and are registered with the data protection registrar and to this end guarantee the security of your details. The system is also free of any advertising and parents who sign up will not receive any e- mails or texts from advertisers or any other third parties.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me; alternatively, get in touch with “Home Contact” directly who will be more than happy to answer any questions or queries you may have. Their website is: wwww.homecontact.co.uk

We look forward to using the system and hope it is of benefit to you.
