MyChildAtSchool (MCAS) is a FREE app that enables parents to view their child’s performance at school in real time.
It provides anytime access to Attendance, Behaviour, reports, letters or important documents. Student timetables alongside the school calendar and Exam Timetables and results mean The Radclyffe School can keep parents/carers fully informed electronically.
The app also provides two way communication between the school and parents/carers so we can keep you informed about important events in school that involve your child, but also provide you with a way of easily contacting the school when you need to do so.
The MyChildAtSchool app will replace the Cloud School Parent app immediately, and will also replace the MyEd app.
Parents/carers are strongly encouraged to download the app as soon as possible so that you are setup and ready for the new academic year.
Instructions on how to install the app and get logged in are below.
We have also created a video for parents which provides a brief introduction to the app and runs through the main features of the app. This can be viewed below.
Downloading the app
Click on the relevant link below to be directed to install the app from either the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store.
We are aware that the MCAS app has recently received a makeover in its user interface and the video below no longer reflects the MCAS interface now available. The new interface is easy to navigate and we hope you will be able to navigate it without any additional guidance.
The login process remains similar to that detailed in the video below so this video will remain available to support those who have yet to login, and we hope to release an updated video guide soon.

The Dashboard will then open for the chosen Profile.
