Effective communication between home and school is essential to ensure the well-being of our pupils and their educational success. We have used a number of different tools over the past few years to support you in monitoring homework, communicating with the school and accessing letters and school reports.

We have taken feedback from Parent Surveys and conducted our own review of the services these apps and platforms provide and believe that we can give parents access to most of the information and services they require through a single app called Edulink One.

The app is free and available for all smartphones and tablets. We are requesting that all parents and carers download this app during the Summer Term. The app is available to download via the Apple App Store and Google Play (links below).

Alternatively, you can log in through a web browser. https://www.edulinkone.com/#!/login?code=ulverston

Instructions on how to log into the Edulink One app can be found in the letter sent to parents (available below). Please make sure that you change your password when you first log on for security purposes. As with any new application, there can often be some minor issues which may need resolving, and we would like to thank you in advance for your patience if problems arise. If parents have any technical issues, they should email the school via teams@uvhs.uk.
