Newsletter Weduc guide Weduc home / school communication tool Weduc is designed to improve communication between parents/carers and school. The platform allows notifications to be sent directly to mobiles of parents/carers with all messages and communication from school and where parents’ evening appointments can be made. It also allows access to information on your child(ren), eg details of behaviour, student timetables, reports and teachers to name a few, all in one easily accessible, user friendly place. If you have not yet had the chance to enrol with Weduc, please do so as soon as possible to avoid missing important messages from school. We have sent out email notifications with individual enrolment codes to all parents/carers with details on how to download the Weduc app onto your phone/tablet and how to access the site through the internet. Please contact your child’s year manager if you require a new enrolment message to be sent. All communication from school is sent via Weduc. When we need to send you an important alert, the Weduc app will flash up a notice on your phone screen - particularly useful when we have to notify you of emergency school closures, detentions and absences. We strongly recommend that you use this app and enable the notification system to ensure you do not miss any important information communicated home. If you are unable to operate the Weduc app or access links from the notifications, you will need to log in to the Weduc website to check for messages and click into links.
Making parents’ evening bookings via Weduc If you haven’t already downloaded the Weduc App, you’ll need to do that for making parents’ evening bookings and accessing the parent consultation evening itself. The instructions for downloading the App are given below. The Weduc App should be intuitive to use. Once you’ve downloaded the App go to the home page and select "Access resources in the Hub". From there you will see the option for "Parents Evening Login" that will take you to the login page to fill in any details required to then book appointments for parents evening. It might be that a teacher has already made an appointment for you, in which case you just need to make a note of the time. On an evening in the sports hall, we are often able to grab a word with you on pastoral basis if you want that. Through the digital platform Heads of Year will be available on the evening, if you’d like to discuss something more broadly with them. You can make a booking with your child’s Head of Year in the normal way.
Be the best you can
