Dear Parents and Carers,

We use EduLink as our main method of communication to share updates about your child’s progress and attitude, we also use EduLink to share important messages and to collect information and consent when required.

Please spend some time familiarising with how EduLink works and carefully read the information that is located here ready for your child’s start date with us in September. We require your consent for a number of areas which you can read about below and provide consent via Edulink.

Your login details for Edulink will be provided in your welcome letter sent via post on the 1st March 2023.

Please set aside around 45 minutes to complete our formal online registration using EduLink (guidance is in the EduLink parent guide posted out to you).

When completing the online registration you will be asked to give consent for essential aspects of school operation. These include:

• Biometrics – fingerprints for cashless payment for food and drinks from the school canteen.
• Photographs – permission for your child’s photo to be taken and used for internal and external promotion.
