Does your school want better communication with parents? Are you fed up of systems that cost too much money, take too much time to manage and don't help you reach every parent? Good communication with parents really matters. It helps your school to run well, and drives effective parental engagement - which can lead to gains in a child's learning of +3 months in the space of a year. (Source: EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit, 2018 But if it's so important, why do most schools find it so hard? We’re former teachers, and we know what the challenges look like: • Spending a small fortune on basic text messages without knowing if they're reaching home - or if the number is even still valid (not to mention battlng annyng chrctr lmts tht mk it hrd 2 sy wt u mn w/t bng shrt!) • Running too many systems with complicated parent sign up processes and low uptake (ever been through the trauma of getting unique codes out to parents?) • Clunky MIS integration that gives you no insight into the quality of your parent contact information That's why we built Parent Hub - a simple online platform that: • Offers App, SMS and email sending in one place • Has THE SIMPLEST sign up process for parents (no more paper letters or unique codes!) • Enables you go paperless and cashless by bringing communication and payments into one system We love to rave about it (in September, we sent out over 2.5 million push notifications), but don't just take our word for it. We're working with 350+ schools across the UK, and here's a sample of what some of them have to say about us: 🏆 Ancaster CofE Primary: “We love [Parent Hub], it’s absolutely excellent, and has completely transformed parent communication. We used to use email to communicate with the parents and it was a nightmare. The way [Parent Hub] links up with Integris [our MIS] is seamless.” Sam Eden, Headteacher 🏆 Southdale Juniors: “We love Parent Hub. You have no idea how easy it makes our lives. There’s no printing, no need to run round and make sure they’ve all picked up the letters before they go home. People come to have a look at how [Parent Hub] works and say – ‘is that it? It is that simple?’” Angela Payne, Office Administrator If you're interested in parent communication being this easy at your school or MAT, I'd love to chat.
