Communication between School and home is very important to maintain a strong partnership.

An ever-increasing amount of information is available on the School’s public website. This includes School policies, letters home and information on School events. Our preferred method of communication with parents/carers is via email and/or the text messaging system. By using this facility, parents can also message the School to report an absence, illness or even just to ask a question. The School mobile number is 07860055254.

Throughout the year, the School likes to share general information, School newsletters, good news, Headteacher’s letters, information about School events, details about extracurricular activities and requests for support from parents and carers by text message and/or email. However, under the Data Protection Act (DPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the School needs to seek your permission or consent to do so. Should your child join King Edward VII School, the School will seek your permission to share this type of information with you.

Office 365 or “MLE”

The School’s Office 365 site (or MLE – Managed Learning Environment) allows students and staff the ability to access the same School site they do when on School premises. The site includes:

• Information and resources uploaded by teachers
• The ability to check School email
• Create Microsoft Office or Google Documents online
• Store 100GB of documents online using OneDrive or Google Drive
• Links and instructions for Google Classroom and Google Meet which may be used for remote learning
