MyEd App Launch

We are pleased to announce that from September 2021 we are introducing an efficient new way to communicate and share information with you as parents. My Ed is the new Drayton Manor app that gives you a multitude of communication and information features to stay in touch with school. The app gives you direct access to your child's timetable, attendance and absence records, school calendar, links to the website and much more. You will also see that we plan to update and change the information in the app as the year progresses.

Once you have downloaded the app to your phone, we will be able to send you messages directly to the My Ed app containing letters, forms requiring digital completion, newsletters, information about your child's education and to remind you of events that are taking place at school, such as Parents Evenings. You can also access ParentPay through it to top up your child’s account.

‘Messages’ allows you to report your child’s absence with a simple message. The school will reply if we require further information.

‘Ed Scan’ allows you to scan QR codes printed onto letters or newsletters. Scanning a code will take you to an electronic form or survey.

‘My Students’ is a bespoke page for your child. If your child has missed a day from school, you will be able to view this and submit information using the ‘Absence’ button

Absence

From this point forward, absence for your child can be reported by parents to the school through the app using the ‘Messages’ function. The traditional phone line or email address will still exist but we will look to phase these out to simplify communication next year.

Children should only miss school when they are too unwell to attend.

If your child is too unwell to attend, this is how you report the absence:

1. Open the app on your phone
2. Click ‘Messages’ at the bottom of the home screen
3. Write the school a message with the following information

• Name
• Tutor Group
• Reason for absence
• How many days your child will be absent
• You can also inform us of upcoming appointments or emergency situations

4. Click send

Downloading the App

When you download the app, you should click ‘allow notifications’ so that you will receive a notification if we send you a message. There is no charge for the messages you send to us as a reply.

The My Ed app is available for both Apple iOS and Android devices and can be found the usual way
