Exciting News: Launch of Our New School App!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) app a convenient, user-friendly platform designed to enhance communication between school and home. This app will provide you with instant access to important information about your child’s education and school life, all in one place.
Please note that iRis Reach will soon be phased out on the 10th February, and MCAS will be the new platform for all school dinner payments, as well as other key features.
What can you expect from the app?
- Real-Time Updates: Get instant information about your child’s attendance, behaviour, and achievements.
- Grades and Reports: Check your child’s grades and progress as soon as they’re available.
- Easy Payments: Pay for school trips, lunches, and activities securely online.
- Timetable Access: See your child’s daily schedule at a glance.
We believe this app will make it easier than ever for you to stay connected with your child’s education and celebrate their successes. It will also allow you to address any concerns proactively by staying informed about participation.
If you have any questions or need assistance setting up the app, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We are excited about the opportunities this app will bring to strengthen the partnership between school and home. Your engagement is key to your child’s success, and we are confident this tool will make collaboration even more effective.
Thank you for your continued support. Together, we can ensure the best possible outcomes for your child.

Further Guidance
MCAS will also be the new platform for all school dinner payments after Easter. Until then, ParentPay will still be available through their app and website: www.parentpay.com. Further information will be sent regarding this changeover, closer to the time. The app also has many other features, which will be added once we have everyone registered.
We have recently had queries regarding multiple parents/carers requesting access to the app. With MCAS, anyone with legal parental responsibility will be able to download and use the app. We’re confident this will make it easier than ever for you to stay connected with your child’s education and celebrate their successes. It will also allow you to address any concerns proactively by staying informed about participation.
Due to safeguarding responsibilities, we cannot allow parents to update their contact information using the app. Please email main reception at: info@oa.catrust.uk with any changes and they will deal with this proactively for you.
