The School Connect

One app that brings together every part of primary school life — for parents, teachers, governors and the school office. Our School Connect replaces Bromcom, Arbor, IRIS Ed:gen, SchoolMoney, ParentPay and ParentMail with one beautifully simple platform. Parents always use it free. STAY CONNECTED Real‑time messaging, class groups and instant push alerts keep families informed without WhatsApp chaos. Messaging templates help schools send quick reminders and attendance chasers. ATTENDANCE, REGISTER & HOME‑TIME SIGN‑OUT Staff now get a rebuilt attendance system with two tabs: Register: full school roster with Present/Late/Sick/Absent buttons and a Mark all present bulk action. Home time: shows children currently in school, each with a Sign out button that timestamps when they leave. Parents see home‑time badges in their child’s attendance history (e.g. “15:30”). Live summary tiles update instantly across both app and web. PAYMENTS Top up the canteen, order lunches, pay for trips, wraparound and shop items — all powered by secure Stripe payments. CELEBRATE SCHOOL LIFE Behaviour points, house leaderboards, galleries, trip photos, newsletters, digital certificates and behaviour badges. EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE Clubs sign‑up, school calendar, volunteer board, lost and found, pickup QR, Trips, Wraparound and School Shop. Parents can sync the school calendar directly to iOS or Google. FOR STAFF & SCHOOL LEADERS WEB PORTAL Rota planner, cover, timesheets, safeguarding hub, DBS Tracker, assessments, gradebook, kitchen portal and full UK payroll with NI, tax and pensions.
