Working in Partnership with Parents – Stronger Together
At Alde Valley Academy, we believe that strong, positive relationships between school and home are key to every child’s success. Our core value Stronger Together underpins everything we do—we know that when parents, carers, and staff work in partnership, students thrive.
We are committed to open, honest, and regular communication with families.
Through the My Child At School (MCAS) app, parents can stay informed about their child’s:
-
Attendance
-
Behaviour and rewards
-
Attitude to learning
-
Homework completion
-
Progress and reports
You can access the MCAS portal here:

We also encourage parents to contact us directly with any concerns or questions. Whether it’s through parents' evenings, school events, or everyday communication, your voice matters.
Together, we can ensure that every student is supported, challenged, and celebrated throughout their journey at Alde Valley Academy.
