A reminder for parents
Fosse Way School runs their consents for pupil activities or photographs as a live system using the MCAS app (My Child at School). With this system you are able to directly access your child’s information and request edits. Instructions on how to do this can be found on this page. You will automatically be invited using the email address you provide in the welcome pack. It is very important that you keep your email and phone numbers up to date with the school as these form the major part of communication , particularly in an emergency.
If you have issues accessing MCAS you are more than welcome to email the School Office with any changes that you wish enacted at any time. You will receive termly reminders via ClassDojo to ensure details are up to date. If you prefer, you can download and complete the forms and send them in at any time.
Consent Form – Early Years and Primary
Permissions for other trips and clubs will be issued through MCAS, so parents are advised to sign up to the My Child at School app to do this – please call the school office if you need a password reset or an account invite.
