We are very pleased to announce the launch of the School Communicator – an innovative and exciting new
way of communicating with parents. The School Communicator keeps you up-to-date with what’s happening
at the school. It updates automatically, and brings you all the latest news and calendar events. It also
contains a photo gallery, contact list and a range of useful links and documents.
Getting started
Installing the School Communicator is dead simple. Insert the CD you have received into your computer. It
should play automatically. Now click on the Install button and follow the on-screen instructions. You can also
download the installer from the School Communicator website: www.school-communicator.com/downloads.
You can install the School Communicator on as many computers as you like – for example work and home
or both and your spouse. The School Communicator is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7,
as well as Mac OS 10.5 and 10.6.
Always up-to-date
News and relevant information is added regularly by the school. Your School Communicator will
automatically update as new information is added. There’s nothing further you need to do. The School
Communicator will pop up once a day when you switch on your computer, so you’re always informed of
what’s happening at the school.
Get only the news you want
You can select which news and calendar information you’d like to receive. Click on the Personalise tab and
select the relevant channels from the list provided.
How will the School Communicator affect your computer?
The School Communicator is a lightweight application and should have no noticeable impact on your
computer. In some instances you might need to change your anti-virus or firewalls settings to allow the
School Communicator to run. If you are on a company network you might need to ask your network
administrator to assist you. Over 100 000 parents are already successfully using the School Communicator,
both at home and at work.
Bandwidth
The School Communicator typically uses about 30Mb of data a month. This will fluctuate a little from month
to month depending how often we update the content, but should never be excessive.
Privacy
Any personal information shared with the School Communicator (including your registration details) is
absolutely private, and may only be used by the school. It may not be sold or shared with any third party. The
School Communicator servers are protected by Thawte to ensure no unauthorised access of your details.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns. You can also contact the School Communicator
support team if you experience any problems running the School Communicator. Contact them on
