Fears of creating a mini-mumsnet were unfounded

We have been using Classlist successfully for the last academic year.

Any initial fears that the site could turn into a mini-mumsnet were unfounded. It has really helped parents share contact details which we, as a school, aren't now allowed to give out due to data protection issues. As a result of this new parents can be quickly assimilated into the school community and questions and knowledge about the school shared.

Classlist has plugged such a gap

Classlist is the most fantastic thing. It has plugged such a gap.

Releasing information to parents is a nightmare for the school office. Classlist is parent-run, which is brilliant

Classlist brings parents back into the school community

Parents often tell me they feel isolated if they can’t get to the school in person but Classlist has brought them back into the school community.

I’ve made friends through Classlist. We adopted it recently and not only did I get an invitation to Christmas drinks from someone I didn’t know before, but also we used it to organize the teacher’s Christmas present and presentation – which the other parents really appreciated.

It is designed to be parent-run, which is brilliant.

Classlist is the most fantastic thing, as both a parent and a school administrator at two different schools using it. We moved back from living abroad with 3 children and would have loved to have had Classlist at the time to ask other parents questions when we arrived, and to meet people. Classlist has plugged such a gap. It is designed to be parent-run, which is brilliant. And working in a school office it is a nightmare to deal with releasing information to parents, so it is fantastic for schools too if parents are using Classlist
