Westlands School

We are delighted to provide this app to members of Westlands – pupils, parents, staff and directors - indeed all with an interest in the life of the School. It will enable you to view the full calendar of events and activities and to receive regular news from the School as well as ‘push’ notifications of urgent or last-minute information. Within this app you will be able to create your own view of the calendar, using filters to see only those events which are relevant to you. You can also import selected events to your personal calendar. A feed from the school website will keep you informed of on-going news and this news feed will be further enhanced by ‘breaking news’ stories. How to Use the App At the foot of the screen there are four tabs: Calendar: This can be viewed in two ways : as Month-To-View or List View. You can switch between these views using the icons in the navigation bar at the top of the page. On the centre left is a small calendar page icon and on the right is a small list icon. In Month-To-View mode, any date which is marked with a dot indicates that there are events on that day. If you tap on that date, you will see the event(s) appear below the calendar. Tap any event to see more detailed information including a map of the event location (if applicable). In List View mode, you can scroll through all events, in date order. Again, you can tap any event to see more detailed information and a map of the event location (if applicable). You can import an event into your personal calendar from your app, if you select the import icon (the tick top right on the event details screen). Please note that if an event is altered in the app calendar it will not change the details in your personal calendar unless you re-import the data. News: This shows all the latest news stories from Westlands School. If you tap on any news item you will be able to see more detail. Some news will direct you via a link to the School website. Filters: The filters tab gives you the opportunity to see only those calendar items that are relevant to you by selecting as appropriate. Info: In this tab you can share this app with family, friends and colleagues via Facebook, Twitter and by Email.
