Xpressions App

Parent Communication

Click the buttons below to download our Free Xpressions App for Android or Apple devices.

Communicating with you is an important part of what we do, making sure you get the correct information about activities, events and school news that really matters is something we care about.

Messages may be sent via Xpressions, a school communication system. This will enable you to receive all your communications from school quickly and reliably.

Xpressions is a free service that lets users receive messages from their school. Users can access their account either via the app or from the website.

The app is available to download from the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. Ensure that users are running an up to date operating system on your mobile device.

All users can also access their Xpressions accounts via the website: xpressions.groupcall.com from an up to date internet browser.

How to access Xpressions/Groupcall with the Xpressions app

Next steps:

The school will use the email address and mobile number that we hold for the Priority contact(s) in our school database. If you are not certain that we have your correct details, please contact the school. The app is FREE to download and use.

The set-up process is simple and will take no more than a couple of minutes

Search for “Xpressions” in the Apple App Store/Google Play or on your smartphone
Install the app and if you are asked then say yes to “Allow Push Notifications”
Parents need to enter the email address your school has stored for them. They will then need to tap Next.
Parents will also be asked to enter their mobile number and then click next. This needs to be the mobile number that your school has stored for them in the Mobile number field in your MIS.
You will receive a 6 digit code via SMS (text message). You will need to enter this code on screen and tap Login. If you have any difficulty receiving a code after a short period of time, they will see the option to Resend Code. Should you continue to experience any difficulty, ensure the email and mobile number you are trying to use matches the records of Tendring Technology College. If you continue to have difficulty with Xpressions, please contact the dedicated Parent Support team at Groupcall: parents.groupcall.com.
On the next screen, you will be asked to set a 4 digit passcode. It is strongly recommended to complete this step so that you can stay logged into the app while ensuring your accounts remain secure. If you think that your passcode has been compromised you can log out of the app completely. Upon logging back in, you can set a new 4 digit passcode.

As soon as you’ve got the system set-up, all of the text messages we send you will appear in the app; you’ll receive notifications/alerts as normal.
