Parent App
Hawthorns school now has a parent app (PA Connect) The app is now the school’s main way of communication. This reduces the amount of paper we use as an Eco School. All letters, newsletters and important message will be sent directly to your phone or tablet via the app. Parents and carers can also update changes in emergency contact numbers that we have on our systems for your child.
