Dear Parent/Carer

RE: My Child at School (MCAS)

My Child At School (MCAS) is an online portal and smartphone application that enables families to view and support their children’s performance at Sir Geoffrey Leigh Academy. You can access your child’s timetable, calendar, attendance, behaviour, and personal contact details.

This secure, free service is supported through our operating system provider, Bromcom and is used widely across Leigh Academies Trust.

From 3rd November 2025 the Academy will be moving all communication via MCAS. We encourage all parents/carers to activate their accounts by then. You can SELF SIGN UP to the portal following the step by step attached to this letter. You will need the School ID 11468 and your personal email address which is associated with your child’s school profile.

If you have updated your email address since your child joined the academy, please contact your child’s college admin to get this update so that you can access MCAS. You can use the web version or alternatively, you can download the MCAS App from your app store.

Website: https://www.mychildatschool.com/MCAS/MCSParentLogin

It is important that you sign up for MCAS to continue to receive all communication by Friday 17th October 2025.

Yours faithfully

Rebecca Roberts | Principal
