Getting Started

Welcome to Ossett Academy!

As a parent/carer of a new starter, you’ll no doubt be keen to get started, with access to our parental communication system and online payment system, so read on to find out how / what to expect.

MyChildAtSchool (MCAS)

We use MCAS by Bromcom (available as an app for mobile devices, or as a website) as our preferred platform for academy / parent communication.

The school will need your email address. Once your account is created you’ll receive an email containing a link to allow you set your password.

Once complete, login to the app or website using your email address and password.

If you need an account, please contact enquiries@ossett.accordmat.org

Tucasi Online Payments

To manage your payments for meals, trips and other items, we use the Tucasi Online Payment system. This system allows you to view balances and pay for items online without the need for cash or cheques, which we no longer accept.

As a new parent/carer, you will receive a letter from the academy containing your Online Link Code. This code will enable you to set up your account at www.scopay.com/school. Register as a New User and follow the instructions on the screen. If you need assistance creating your account, take a look at the help guides below.

Microsoft Office

All Ossett Academy pupils have a Microsoft Office license which can be installed at home for free. In order to do so, pupils can click here and log in with their academy email address.

Every pupil is issued a user account during their first week at school. If you need any technical support and guidance, our Tech Support team will be happy to help where they can at: techsupport@accordmat.org.

Through Microsoft Office, pupils can access Microsoft Teams and Microsoft SharePoint.

As may be your own experience, Microsoft Teams has been invaluable throughout the pandemic as a way of meeting (and even teaching!), virtually, whilst Microsoft SharePoint has become an ‘intranet’ whereby pupils are kept abreast of academy news.

Uniform

In acknowledgement of government guidance, we have taken the decision to rationalise our uniform suppliers based on cost comparisons and can confirm our preferred supplier to be The Box in Ossett. The Box stock academy approved blazers, PE tops and skirts. All other items of uniform can either be purchased from The Box or alternative high street retailers.

Find full details in our Uniform Policy below.
