Parent & Carer

Every update from school in one app.

Messages, payments, homework and attendance from your child’s school, the moment they happen. Free for every parent and carer.

Everything about school, in one place.

One app instead of a bag full of letters and a different login for every child.

Never miss a letter

Messages from school land in the app, not the bottom of a bag. Read them, reply, and keep every one in one place.

Pay in seconds

Trips, lunches and clubs, paid securely from your phone. No cash, no chasing forms.

See how they're doing

Attendance, homework, achievements — even photos of the work itself, posted by their teacher. Not just at parents’ evening.

Every child, one app

Got children at different schools, or in different year groups? See all of them in the same app.

You’re in good company.

Parents are the biggest group of people on GroupEd, and the app is built for you first, not squeezed in around the school’s systems.

  • 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

Pay for the school trip while you’re doing the shop.

No more hunting for a cheque book or handing over cash at pick-up — pay for trips, clubs and lunches securely from your phone, wherever you are.

Messages

Grandparents and carers are welcome too.

Anyone who helps with school runs and pick-ups can have their own login: the same messages, the same updates, kept in one thread for everyone.

Before & after

Turn off the group chat chaos.

Whether you’re juggling texts, paper letters or a different app for every school, here’s what actually changes.
