How SchoolBrief works
Set it up once in 5 minutes. Never miss a school event again.
Sign up and get your address
When you sign up, we give you a unique forwarding address that looks like:
This is your personal address — emails sent here get summarised for you.
Set up email forwarding
Set up an automatic rule so school emails forward to SchoolBrief. Works with Gmail, Hotmail and Outlook. Unfortunately autoforward does not work with Yahoo or email providers that use the Yahoo technology (e.g. @BTinternet.com emails).
Enter Children's details
Enter your children's school and school year so the email only includes details relevant for you.
Get your daily digest
Every morning at 7am you'll receive one email covering the week ahead:
📅 Your school week ahead
Wednesday 30 April
Book Fair — bring £5 if your child wants to buy a book.
Thursday 1 May
Sports Day — children should wear something yellow.
Friday 2 May
Permission slip for museum trip due today.
Frequently asked questions
Is my email private?
Yes. We only process forwarded school emails to extract events. Original emails are deleted after 30 days and we never share your data.
What if multiple children go to different schools?
Just forward emails from all their schools to the same address. Everything ends up in one morning digest.
What if an event date is wrong?
AI isn't perfect. If something looks off, always check the original school email. We're working on flagging low-confidence events.
Can this also handle alerts in apps like Class Dojo or Tapestry?
No, these are walled gardens so it's not possible to handle messages from those apps.
