My Online Schooling Parents and Carers
Duty of Care
A Shared responsibility
At My Online Schooling, the care of pupils is a shared responsibility between the school, parents and carers, to ensure pupils are engaged and supported in their learning, both at home and in school.
Guidance on a parent/carer's responsibilities for electively home-educated young people can be found in the following UK Government guidance: Elective Home Education - A Guide for Parents

Below are the key responsibilities you have as a parent or carer when your child is enrolled at My Online Schooling. These will ensure your child is engaged and supported in their learning, both in the classroom and at home:

- Have regular conversations with your child surrounding keeping safe online, including knowing who to talk to if they feel anxious or worried
- We recommend regular monitoring of your child's online activities
- Encourage your child to actively participate in lessons, including use of microphone and webcam
- Ensure your child is equipped with the resources necessary for every lesson
- Take part in discussing issues concerning your child’s education and progress, health and wellbeing with the school
- Engage in any communication requests from the school in a timely manner
- Submission of an Absence Form via your MOS Parent App to inform the school of any absences and the reasoning
- Keep the school informed of any changes to personal information including address and contact changes, health records or information that impacts a pupil's education with us, for example, any Special Educational Needs or medical diagnosis
Parent App
Everything you need right at your finger tips
Through the parent app, you can do the majority of your school admin and find the information you need for questions you may have.
Families are encouraged to check the Parent App at least on a weekly basis to stay informed about their child’s progress. The Parent App facilitates excellent communication, provides extensive information and gives you constant peace of mind.
When you enrol your child, you receive an email invitation to join the Parent App. There are also step by step video tutorials on how to use the app in your Success Pack. Please contact your Success Coordinator if you have any questions.
Please follow the link below to see a short demo clip for an overview of how the app works.
