School Gateway app - important information
As you know, all the school information and letters, payments and booking for dinners and visits are done through the School Gateway app.
It is important that you leave it logged in on your phone and set to receive push notifications at all times. Otherwise, you will miss lots of important information.
If you need help to download or use the app, please speak to a member of the school admin team.
