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.

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. 

Switch-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. 

How is Classlist different to other apps?

  • Classlist is specifically designed for parents of school communities.
  • Its "CARES" guidelines are based around respect and kindness.
  • Your information is not shared with 3rd parties.
  • It has many features including but not limited to the chat to help with parenting.
  • It's secure, private and only school parents can join.
  • Any advertising (basic version only) is carefully screened as appropriate for our members.

    Classlist is kind
