My Child At School (MCAS)
UCC uses Bromcom as its MIS (Management Information System) and it is a crucial piece of software for ensuring the correct storage and use of data across the school. It holds many features that also contribute to the smooth running of the school on a day-to-day basis and one of these is the MCAS (My Child at School) app.
This app allows the school to ensure it is providing the most up-to-date information to parents on a daily basis and forms part of our ongoing objective to help parents/carers keep track of how their child is doing in school and to also give them easier avenues for communicating with us with regard to any aspect of their child's school life.
As part of this process, we are introducing a new method for reporting an absence via MCAS and this will take effect from 23rd February 2026 (after February half term).
The key points to note are:
-
Absences reported via phone calls or our absence email address will no longer be checked or logged.
-
Any absence not recorded via the 'Report an Absence' tab on the MCAS Parent App will remain unauthorised until it is correctly submitted.
Below is a set of FAQs to help support any parents that are struggling with accessing or using the app. A guide has also been attached underneath that offers step-by-step instructions for logging an absence in this way. This change will ensure that our attendance monitoring systems are more streamlined, efficient and accurate, enabling us to track attendance more effectively and provide timely support where needed.
