Classlist U
Classlist enables you to contact other parents safely and securely and to keep up to date with events organised N
by the Form Reps or HSPA. It is a UK site that has been set up by parents, for parents and is completely free I
to use. As a school we have checked where and how the data will be stored and are happy with the levels of C
security in place. The online system allows you to enter, manage and update the personal information that A
you wish to share with your daughter’s year group. So that our site remains just for parents of the School, all T
requests to join Classlist are checked by the School with our database before they are validated. I
O
You can sign up at any time by visiting https://www.classlist.com and searching for Headington School. After N
your request has been validated, you can log in and use the site, either through a web-browser or using an app 19
(for iOS or Android). Please note that new applications won’t be approved until the end of May. We believe that
Classlist helps create a welcoming and engaging community and would encourage parents to be a part of it. If
you have any questions about the system, please contact rbowen@headington.org.

Emergency arrangements

It is essential that the School is able to contact Parents, Guardians or a nominated Emergency Contact in case of
illness or injury. Parents are, therefore, asked to provide emergency contact numbers and to inform the School
immediately if there are any changes during the course of the school year.

Parents can view the contact details stored on the school’s information management system through the Parent
Portal and should check that these are correct. You must notify the School of any changes throughout the year
and there is a form in the portal to do this.

There may be occasions, for example, following a heavy snowfall or simply traffic problems, when parents of day
girls are unable to collect their daughters as arranged. If this happens, please contact either: the School Reception
(01865 759100) or the Sixth Form Office (01865 759158), who will make arrangements for your daughter to go to
a boarding house until she can be collected. There is always a member of staff on duty in school until 6.00 pm. We
will also use the school website to update parents.
