Parent Portal – A Guide
19th June 24
While our website is packed full of useful information for KAS families and those looking to join our community, we also have a dedicated Parent Portal, which acts as a central resource for information about the school, including key dates and events, student timetables, useful documents and links.
Furthermore, the Firefly Parent Portal stores messages you receive from the school, so if you delete them from your email inbox, you will still be able to access them via the Portal, where you can search them by keyword, date or subject (to ensure messages do not end up in your junk folder, please add post@kingalfred.schoolpostmail.co.uk to your safe senders list).
Activating your Firefly account only takes a few minutes. If using a web browser, follow these simple steps:
- In your browser, navigate to the Parent Portal address (which you may want to save to your bookmarks) – https://kingalfred.fireflycloud.net/
- Select ‘New to Firefly? Activate your account’
- Enter the email address the School already holds on record for you and select ‘Activate account’. An email will then be sent to your inbox
- Check your email inbox. Make sure to check your junk folder or spam filters if you cannot see it
- Open the email and select ‘Activate account’
- Enter a password of your choice, then confirm it
- Once again, choose ‘Activate account’
- Your account is activated, and you are now logged in to the Parent Portal.
For the handy app, which includes the facility for notifications, simply visit the App Store (iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android devices), and search for the Firefly for Parents App. Then:
- Open the Firefly for Parents App
- Enter your school code by typing KINGALFRED
- Enter your Firefly login credentials (see above), then select ‘Log In’
- The app might take a few moments to load all your information the very first time you log in – make sure to keep it open until it is fully finished.
Should anyone need any support or additional guidance getting set up on the new system – or if you encounter any issues, please email communications@kingalfred.org.uk and our team will get in touch with you.
