Our Staff

Parentmail

Attention all parents! Communicating with you is an important part of what we do, making sure you get the correct information about activities, events and school news.

As you know, the school uses ParentMail. Our aim is that all parents will sign up to ParentMail. Please see below for full information.

Information about On-line Payments

We’re using +Pay on ParentMail – an online payment service which allows you to pay for school items on your smartphone, tablets or computer, or on the free parent App.

We will inform you about items you need to pay through ParentMail, and you will be able to pay electronically, with money transferred directly into the school bank account – it’s all very easy, safe and secure. ParentMail doesn’t store credit or debit card details and works in the same way as other large retailers who accept online payments.

Don’t forget the ParentMail App!

If you have an Android or Apple smartphone, we would highly recommend you download the free ParentMail App so that you can make easy, online payments on the go. To do this, simply search for “ParentMail” in your App store.

Class Charts

At Prendergast Ladywell School we use an application called Class Charts to help you keep track of your child’s achievements, access behaviour reports, view assigned homework tasks and track scheduled detentions. It is also the main conduit for communicating with parents regarding how their child’s day has been and any updates regarding school events and announcements.

The parent Class Charts application runs alongside the teacher version of the application. When using the application, you will be able to use Class Charts to keep track of your child’s behaviour and who their teachers are, view assigned homework tasks, track scheduled detentions, celebrate your child’s achievements, and view announcements from their school. If you have more than one child, you can access Class Charts information about your children from a single, centralised parent account.

Class Charts for parents can be accessed via the Class Charts website, or using iOS and Android apps.

You can access the parent website and links to the parent Apps at:

You will need to be given an access code by us to log in. If you are new to the school or have not received your child’s access code, you may email reception@prendergast-ladywell.com so that one of our team can provide you with the relevant information.
