Often doesn’t work

Often doesn’t work. Have needed to delete & reinstall more than once & I’m not the only one

Response from developer

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re really sorry to hear the app hasn’t been working reliably for you, that’s definitely not the experience we want to deliver. Reinstalling shouldn’t be necessary, so we’d love to look into what’s causing this. Please reach out to your school, who will then get in contact with us so we can investigate further and help resolve the issue. We’re actively working on improvements, and your feedback helps us make the app more stable for everyone.

Requiring an update prior to using could have serious consequences

I was out and about, and needed to check my child’s schedule and possibly to book an activity (if my other half had forgotten) - but the app wouldn’t allow me to use it unless I updated it first. Fine if I was on WiFi, but I only had poor mobile signal at the time. Such a thing could have serious consequences, so it’s appallingly poor how this update’s been handled.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about the My School Portal app. We understand the frustration of being unable to access your child's schedule when you needed it. To clarify - the app requires an internet connection to view schedules or make bookings. Mandatory updates ensure all users have the latest security patches and new features, and our updates are usually small and quick to install. We recognise that limited connectivity can make updating challenging. We will look at options to improve the update process for users with restricted data access and your experience helps us understand how families use the app in practice.

Very useful!

Happy we now have my school portal as a mobile app. Easy to use, and much better to have the children's school info available on my phone.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback about the My School Portal app. To clarify - this app is specifically designed for parents and guardians to manage and view student information. It was developed exclusively for parent/guardian use rather than direct student access. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective, and we'll note your interest in student functionality for future consideration.

This app makes things so much easier

This app has made a huge difference to how well we’re able to manage the multitude of things that need juggling for our kids’ schools. It’s easier to get sent information and updates and also to find what you need for timetables and trips etc. We can book and view parents evenings, afterschool club, sports clubs, etc. and also book onto and pay in instalments for trips. No more logging in to different systems or filling in paper forms that seem to get lost in school bags. It’s been a great addition to school systems
