Parent & Carer

Every parent, engaged in one app.

87% of parents want to be more engaged with their child’s school. GroupEd makes that happen: messages, payments, homework and attendance in one place, included with your subscription and free for every parent and carer.

Great learner management and great parental engagement supercharge pupil outcomes.

Get that right and everyone is focused on the same thing: pupil progress, engagement and behaviour. GroupEd is brilliantly designed for everyone connected to school life.

Every family, in one place.

One app your families actually open, instead of letters in book bags and a different login for every system.

No more letters home

Your messages land in the app, not the bottom of a book bag, with replies in the same thread you can point back to later.

Money in, not cash in

Trips, lunches and clubs paid on a phone. No cash tins, no envelopes, no chasing consent forms round the office.

Engagement you can see

Attendance, homework and achievements go home as they happen — your teachers can even post photos of the work itself, not just at parents’ evening.

Every carer, covered

Every adult on a child’s record can have their own login: siblings, separated families and childminders all reading the same thread.

Your parents will be in here every day.

Parents are the biggest group of people on GroupEd, so the app is built for them first, which is why they actually open it.

  • Messages, payments, homework and attendance in one place
  • Report an absence or book parents’ evening yourself
  • Free for every parent and carer, in every GroupEd school

Payments

Trip money in, without a single envelope.

Parents pay for trips, clubs and lunches from their phones — so your office stops counting cash, chasing consent forms and reconciling envelopes by hand.

Messages

Message a class, a year group or the whole school.

Send once and it lands with every parent and carer on that child’s record — grandparents and childminders included, each with their own login, all reading the same thread.

Before & after

The same question, thirty times.

When school news travels by class group chat, it’s your office that fields the calls. One app, one version of the truth.

Getting started takes minutes.

Parents don’t set up accounts from scratch. Your MIS data does the hard part.

01

Send the invites

Invites go out from your existing contact records: a code or a link per parent, in one send.

02

Parents download it — free

Available on iPhone and Android. No subscription, no in-app purchases, ever.

03

You’re live

Parents sign in, see every one of their children, and your messages start landing in one place they actually check.

Comes free with every GroupEd school.

The moment your school switches on One, OnSite or Classroom, every parent and carer gets the app — at no extra cost to you or to them, ever.

Free for parents

Included. Not an add-on.
