Schoolcomms
At Abbey, we use a system called Schoolcomms, which is an electronic school communication system. This will
enable you to receive all your information from school quickly and reliably. We can send letters by email to your
inbox and short messages directly to your mobile phone as a text message, or if you have an Apple or Android
mobile phone, by app message. We also update our website on a regular basis with all information that is emailed.
Further details on where to look for information can be found on the ‘Abbey Website Useful Links document’

Next steps. This can be completed once your child has been admitted into school:
1. For emails the school will use the email address that we hold for the Priority one and two contact.
2. For text messages the school will use the mobile number we hold for the Priority one contact.
To ensure that we have your correct details, please use the attached reply slip.
3. If you do not have an Apple or Android device, skip to Step 6.
4. Go to your app store and search for “School Gateway” and download the app.
5. Once downloaded, select the “I’m a New User” button; enter your email address and mobile
number that we have on record for you. Select ‘Send PIN’ and a PIN number will be text to your
mobile phone.
6. Log in with your email address and the PIN, your account is now active and you will receive
instant notifications of messages in your notifications bar.
7. If you change your contact details please ensure that you let the school know as soon as possible.
