Welcome to KDS System

At Kingsdown School, we use a variety of platforms to connect with parents and carers. This session is designed to support you in using these platforms and ensure you can easily access information and updates about your child's learning.

Our primary communication platform with parents & Carers is the MyChildAtSchool App:
MyChildAtSchool is an online portal that enables parents to view their child’s performance at school in real time via any modern web browser (e.g. Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc.) and for today’s busy parents, an app (for android or ios)  which offers the same features. Anytime access to Attendance, Behaviour, Assessment and student reports, letters or important documents. Student timetables alongside the school calendar and fully customisable Exam Timetables and results pages mean schools can keep parents fully informed electronically.

Communication through Push Notification (for the App), Announcements and important documents as well as enabling parent messaging to the school are all included features.
