London, UK – January 28, 2026: Unimount and ParentBuddy.ai today announced a strategic partnership aimed at revolutionising how schools communicate with parents. The collaboration brings together Unimount's deep expertise in enterprise AI transformation with ParentBuddy's award-winning parent engagement platform.
Effective communication between schools and parents is crucial for student success, yet many schools struggle with fragmented communication channels, language barriers, and the sheer volume of information that needs to be shared. This partnership addresses these challenges head-on.
A Unified Communication Platform
Through this partnership, schools will benefit from:
- AI-Powered Translation: Real-time translation of school communications into over 100 languages, ensuring every parent can stay informed regardless of their native language.
- Smart Notifications: Intelligent prioritisation of messages so parents see what matters most, when it matters most.
- Two-Way Communication: Easy channels for parents to respond, ask questions, and engage with teachers and school staff.
- Accessibility Features: Voice messages, simplified text options, and screen reader compatibility for parents with different needs.
"Parents are a child's first and most important teachers. By making it easier for schools and families to communicate, we're ultimately supporting better outcomes for students. This partnership with ParentBuddy.ai is a natural fit for our mission."
Addressing Real Challenges
Research shows that parental engagement is one of the strongest predictors of student achievement. However, many parents—particularly those from diverse linguistic backgrounds or with demanding work schedules—find it difficult to stay connected with their child's school.
The integrated platform tackles these barriers by meeting parents where they are, whether that's through a mobile app, SMS, email, or even WhatsApp. Messages are automatically translated and formatted for each parent's preferences.
Rolling Out Across the UK
The partnership will initially focus on schools in England, with plans to expand across the UK throughout 2026. Schools already using either Unimount or ParentBuddy.ai solutions will have priority access to the integrated platform.
Interested schools can register for early access through either company's website.
