What Is Schoop?
Our “Texts to Parents” service has now come to an end. Parents will therefore no longer receive text updates from the school. We have now signed up to a service called “Schoop”. This will allow us to send out notifications and reminders straight away to any families who have downloaded and installed the app onto their phone in a safe way.
It will help us and families to have an improved communication system which is current and up to date. Families can choose which groups (classes) that they would like to receive notifications from so the information received is relevant to them.
Schoop will work in many different languages so all our families will be able to access and use the app. A calendar facility will help you stay up to date with events etc. Eventually, it is intended that consent forms will be able to be completed electronically through this service.
How Do I Get Schoop?
The app can be download from the Apple App store or the Google Play store. Once downloaded, you will need to enter the school’s unique Schoop code (the school has previously sent a text to parents containing the code. If you do not have it, please contact the school).
Please fill in your details, including your child’s name.
You are able to select the class(es) you wish to receive notifications for.
To ensure you receive our notifications, please go into the app settings and allow “Show Notifications”.
I’m Stuck – What Can I Do?
For any families who need some help setting up the Schoop app, please contact the school where a member of staff will be happy to assist you.
