The school take full advantage of all the app’s features, including social media feed integration, a rich information section and make fantastic use of forms and surveys.
Since it’s success, a further 6 schools have joined the Piota community.
Parent feedback is very positive and focuses on the convenience of having all the information you need in one easily accessible place on your phone.
Highlights include the ability to complete absence or consent forms online, add events directly from the school calendar to your phone calendar, and even find out what’s on the lunch menu tomorrow! The app is now a key part of school life for both teachers and parents.
“It saves us time and money! We load the app full of everything parents need and use it to send instant messages. Parents have been blown away. We would be lost without our app. Our school couldn’t operate without it.”
