Busy parents can’t check a portal every day. 25schools sends you notifications when something worth knowing happens, and lets you send your child a quick message of encouragement right where they study.
What you are notified about
- Goals your child is working towards or has reached.
- School reports as new results come in.
- Assignments from school.
- Payments for books you buy for your child.
- Messages and other updates.
Notifications appear in the parent portal and in the 25schools app.
Message your child
A short “well done on that Maths test” means more than you might think. From your child’s page you can send a message that they see on 25schools. The free parent plan includes a few messages a month, and paid plans more.
How to start
- Create a parent account and link to your child.
- Open notifications to see what is new.
- Open your child’s page to send a message.
Why it helps
Staying informed without having to chase information keeps you involved in a way that fits your day. Encouragement at the right moment, just after a good result or a long week of revision, builds the confidence that keeps children working.
