My Child At School App (MCAS)
What is MCAS?
My Child At School (MCAS) is an online portal by a company called Bromcom, for parents, that enables them to view their child’s performance at school in real-time via the MCAS app or a web browser.
The facility allows the child’s attendance, grades, assessment, exams, timetable, reward and conduct, report, to be accessed whenever the parent/carer wants, 24/7. As well as pupil performance data, the portal also provides general information about the school.
