For Primary Schools

We help you get more from your school budget.

Everything a school runs, in one place.

Run the school

  • School website

    A clear, mobile-first site built from what you already have. Staff edit notices and news from a phone.

  • Purchasing and approvals

    One record from request to payment, with the right tender route built in.

  • Finance and board reporting

    Monthly board pack, grant tracking and the FSSU accounts export, with your accountant kept in the loop.

  • Contracts and policies

    Every contract, renewal date and policy review in one register with an owner.

  • Facilities and maintenance

    Photograph a problem, assign it, track it to completion with evidence.

  • Rooms, equipment and events

    Request a room or equipment, get it approved, see it on the calendar.

Feed and move pupils

  • School meals administration

    Weekly orders, allergen records, deliveries and the scheme return, reconciled against the caterer's invoice.

  • Books and meals scheme binder

    The returns, tender records and book stock the schemes ask for, generated on time.

  • Trips and private transport

    Approval, provider documents and passenger lists for school-run trips.

Talk to families and take payments

  • Parent notifications

    App, SMS, email and WhatsApp behind one opt-in, with the school owning the record.

  • Payments that reconcile themselves

    Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Revolut Pay for fees, trips and meals, each landing on the right ledger code.

Look after people

  • Wellbeing promotion workspace

    The School Self-Evaluation wellbeing cycle, plan and evidence in one place, with vetted programmes to choose from.

  • Staff wellbeing courses

    Short online CPD modules and term programmes for school staff.

  • SEN caseload and review evidence

    Student Support Plans and NCSE review packs with the evidence assembled for you.

Keep the technology working

  • Managed school IT

    Devices, identities, patching and backups with a named response time.
