We are pleased to inform you that Orchard Mead Academy is introducing a new, more efficient and secure way for you to report your child’s absence due to illness: Studybugs.
From now until Friday 8th May, we kindly ask that you download the free Studybugs app or register via the Studybugs website and use it to notify us whenever your child is unable to attend school due to illness.
👉 Get started here: https://studybugs.com/about/parents
Please be reassured that you can still contact the school by phone regarding absences if needed. Studybugs simply provides an additional, faster option for keeping us informed.
Top 3 reasons to use Studybugs:
  1. It links directly with our systems, ensuring we are notified immediately if your child is absent.
  2. It is quick, simple to use, and includes helpful reminders to keep us updated.
  3. It supports the NHS and public health organisations in improving children’s health and wellbeing.
