Notifications for parents/carers
***PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EfL FAMILY APP IS NOW AVAILABLE***
The Parent Portal is the old way that schools would share Evidence with parents / carers. If you are just starting the process of wanting to share Evidence with parents / carers then we would strongly recommend that you set up and start to use the new EfL Family App.
- Schools that have already set up the Parent Portal can move across to use the EfL Family App when they are ready to do so.
- The EfL Family App has a number off additional features and schools that are already using it have received some fantastic feedback from parents and carers.
For further information and walkthrough videos to help you set up and use the EfL Family App, please click on this link - https://resources.evidenceforlearning.net/category/407-efl-family-app
