What needs them, first
Families open Perch to a short list of things only they can do: sign a trip letter, confirm medical details, book parents' evening, pay an invoice. Each one disappears once it's done.
- Consent forms and the yearly medical re-sign
- Absence reporting in three taps
- Trips, clubs and parents' evenings booked in the app
One inbox, never private chats
Families message the school office, the nurse or reception, and whoever is on hand replies. Teachers can message a pupil's whole family at once. There are no private channels between staff and pupils.
- Announcements and newsletters, with who's seen them
- Notifications on the phone, email as a back-up
- In English, Polish, Romanian, Spanish, Ukrainian or Chinese
Built for real families
One login covers every child, even at different schools. Separated parents each see their own days and the kit that needs to move between homes.
- A child picker for families with more than one child
- Evening reminders: kit, clubs and what's on tomorrow
- Face ID to lock the app
Questions
Does the parent app replace our school's website?
No. Your website stays your shop window. Perch is where families do things: sign, book, pay, report and hear from you.
Do families need to download anything?
Perch Family is on iPhone and Android, and everything also works in a web browser, so nobody is left out.
