IRIS Parentmail

We would like to be able to set a group up for only governors. It is not suitable that they are on the staff group and recieve the staff emails. Before the upgrate these were a group on their own.

As a school, we used to be able to send text messages to external bodies using their mobile phone number, without them being on our system. Eg. we have prospective parents who want to visit the school, we do block bookings and send a reminder text...
