About ParentMail
ParentMail (part of IRIS) is one of the UK's most widely used school-to-home communication platforms, serving thousands of primary, secondary, and independent schools. It combines email and SMS messaging, parents' evening bookings, online payments (school meals, trips, uniform), consent forms, absence reporting, and the PMX parent app in one product. Tight integrations with UK MIS systems (SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, ScholarPack) keep parent contact data synced automatically. GDPR-compliant by design, with audit logs and read-receipt analytics for school leaders.
