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
Parents can also keep their child details up to date by using the MCAS app to update contact details. We would encourage parents to ensure that contact details are always up to date in case they need to be contacted in an emergency. If you need to update any permissions, health information or any major change of circumstance always in addition to updating the MCAS app contact the school via enquires@aldevalley.suffolk.sch.uk to make staff aware of the change
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.
