Home-School Communication
Marvellous Me. The platform is being discontinued
We are now moving to the Juniper Parent App. It links directly with our school system (SIMS), so when a pupil joins or leaves, details update automatically. This should make communication faster and more reliable.
What is the Juniper Parent App?
Get wonderful news about your child’s learning and success.
From Monday 22 September, all parents will receive an invitation to join our new Parent App.
With the app, you can:
- Receive messages from your child’s teacher – reminders and announcements straight to your phone.
- See updates and achievements – celebrate badges and successes earned in school.
- Enjoy observations and photos – a glimpse into classroom activities and events (rolling out over the autumn term).
- View attendance overviews – keep an eye on attendance and punctuality at a glance.
Getting started – it’s free
1. Look out for an email invitation from the school with a link to create your account.
2. The invite will go to the email address we have on file from your contact form.
3. Complete the short form and set a password. Then log in and you’re ready to go.
You can download the app in advance by searching for “Juniper Education” in your app store. However, you won’t be able to log in until your invitation arrives, and you complete an account setup.
- Apple devices: [App Store]
- Android devices: [Google Play]
If you experience activation or technical issues, please contact Juniper Support. The school can help confirm the email address we hold for you, but cannot fix app-side problems.
FAQs
I didn’t receive an invitation.
Check your junk/spam folder. If still missing, contact the school office so we can confirm the email address we hold for you.
Will Marvellous Me keep working?
We will phase out Marvellous Me as parents move across. Important communications will still be sent by letter during the transition so nothing is missed.
Will paper letters still be used?
The Juniper Parent App replaces most paper letters. We will only send paper copies if the platform is down, or if the message is personal and must be put in writing.
Next steps
We’ll gradually migrate all parents to the new system and then stop using Marvellous Me. The Juniper Parent App will continue to improve over time, but its core purpose remains the same: to keep you informed about school news and to celebrate your child’s achievements.
Thank you for your patience and support while we make this change. We’re confident the Juniper Parent App will be a more reliable and effective way to stay connected with your child’s school life.
