THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY APP FOR PARENTS
Parent life, made simpler.
'It takes a village to raise a child,' but it can be hard to meet other parents at school.
Use the app to look up a name, make new friends, plan parties, share lifts and advice. Find school information and sell stuff.
INCLUSIVE AND FRIENDLY
Connect with families
We didn't know anyone, but I organised a playdate thanks to Classlist Parent Finder.
Make deeper, more meaningful friendships from the start. You're much more than a phone number with Classlist.
REMINDERS AND MESSAGES
Keep on top of school admin
I was wondering what day to send the children in with their kits. I got a speedy reply via the class chat.
Share parent wisdom, get useful reminders and see what’s coming up for you and your child.
Ask parents; no need to wait for an email reply from the school office.
CELEBRATE TOGETHER
Be a part of it
I can see what's on and enjoy meeting other families at events.
Arrange a party or get-together in seconds, with RSVPs and dietary needs all saved for you.
Get tickets for school events, or sign up to help out.
CLASS DIRECTORY AND MAP
Put a name to a face
We're sharing lifts with a neighbour I located using the Parent Map. It's a great help in the mornings.
See who’s who in your child’s class. Look up your child's new friend, the class rep or a parent name.
Use the map to find out who lives nearby for a lift-share or to get support in a last-minute emergency.
A secure, yet friendly way to reach others.
PRACTICAL AND ECO-FRIENDLY
Just what you need, when you need it
Football boots x2 sizes larger found on Classlist Listings just before the new term. FTW!
Outgrown clothes or interests? Keep on top of it all with Parent Listings.
Sell and swap pre-loved sports equipment, instruments and uniforms. Exchange items locally or at the school gate.
Classlist provides a “community” feeling.
Having three kids, info all in one app is easy to manage!
The updates we receive are fantastic! It's so informative and it allows me to see what my kids have been doing in school.
It’s easy to use and safe ❤️!
Quick, parent communication without worrying about sharing personal contact details.
What is Classlist's mission?
We don't want any child to feel left out during their school days, or any parent to feel isolated and struggle.
We aim to facilitate parent-parent communication so that families can connect, and school communities can be truly inclusive in a secure and private manner.
Our mission is to be the most trusted social platform for schools in the world.
What is Classlist for?
It's to connect you with other school families to help with the social and practical sides to school life.
Here's how:
- Look up a face or a name with "Parent Finder" to see who is in your class and how to reach them.
- Discover who lives near you to share lifts with the Parent Map.
- Check what school-related events are on; great for getting tickets or organising parties.
- Buy and sell secondhand items with ease by arranging delivery between trusted school parents.
- Check the latest newsletters or announcements all in one place.
- Take the stress out of the everyday: Ask class parents about events or kit needed when you're not sure.
My children are at different schools, will that work with Classlist?
Yes! You can use one Classlist account with multiple schools.
If your school is already on Classlist, simply use the same email address to register with your other schools. You can also introduce Classlist to a new school if it's not there already.
Is Classlist for Secondary as well as Primary parents?
Yes! It's for the parents of primary- and secondary-age children, as well as pre-school groups and sixth forms.
Parents of secondary children appreciate being able to:
- Find out where to pick up their children from after a party
- Sell pre-loved uniform
- Keep in touch with other families
- RSVP to attend school webinars on teen-related topics and much more
- Look up a name
- Receive school trip photos securely
- Find someone for their child to walk or cycle to school with safely
Primary parents additionally enjoy:
- Sending out birthday invitations
- Looking up a name to organise a new play date
- Quickly finding someone to pick up their child when they're running late
- Viewing class reminders in a timely manner
- Sharing the mental load of those early school days
- Buying and selling pre-loved clothing and books
I'm a Class Rep, can I use it?
Yes, Classlist is great for Class Reps!
As a Rep, you can:
- Add titles to announcements, which helps your communications stand out from the chatter.
- People who join later in the year can still access earlier messages in the class chat, so you don't have to copy and paste the same ones over and over.
- You can also arrange community events with features such as tickets or RSVP, volunteer sign-up lists, message just those on the guest list or those yet to respond.
- Add a photo and a short bio so people recognise you
- Appear in the Reps and Admins directory
Do I need to download an app?
We recommend you download the app to not miss a message or update when you're on the go.
However, if you're at your desk, you can log in on the desktop version.
Is it just for UK-based schools?
You're welcome to use Classlist wherever in the world you are.
We are currently in over 30 countries around the world and the length and breadth of the UK.
All types of schools benefit from Classlist. We have Prep and Independent, as well as Primary, Secondary and International schools.
Who uses Classlist? Mums, dads & carers?
Our members are usually the pupil's parents, including foster parents, guardians or closely-involved relatives such as aunts, uncles or grandparents.
However, Classlist aims to be inclusive of all families, whatever their make-up.
Classlist serves school communities for parent-parent communication of school-age children, everywhere!
Can teachers and staff read our posts?
Staff cannot view parent-created content or be messaged or message you.
They can, however, create school events and send announcements e.g. with updates from class or school trips.
If you comment on their events and announcements, they can read these messages.
Staff admin roles help ensure only the right parents join Classlist.
If staff members are also parents at the school, they may use Classlist in their parental capacity.
