Birches Head Academy use an information platform called School Synergy to help manage communication between school and home, for both parents and students.

This system is the one-stop access for your entire home to school (and vice versa) communication needs and is widely used by schools across the country. School Synergy is the single access point for parents and carers which provides up to date school news and information, a place to communicate and engage with school and the ability to track the progress and development of your child as it happens.

At the start of the year, we launched the new School Synergy system. This system helps manage and report on many aspects of school life including behaviour, homework, attendance and communication.

Details for creating parent portal accounts will be given to your child at school.

Parents/carers are able to view attendance, communications, student timetables and behaviour, including report cards. The behaviour module provides a real time view, displaying positive comments and points awarded, as well as informing parents/carers where aspects of behaviour may be limiting progress.

The School Synergy Parent Portal features a streamlined dashboard with clear notifications of current activity and outstanding items.

Please find below basic user guides that can be downloaded to help navigate around the School Synergy platform.
