iStudent App vs Firefly for Students

The iSAMS Student app offers students quick and easy access to their school information in one central place. From timetables to teaching groups, exam entries and exam timetables, rewards and detentions, activities and reports, students have the ability to access their personal school information directly from their iPhone or iPad. The official iSAMS Student app links directly with the iSAMS management information system. It has been designed to offer students real-time access to their key school information in order to enhance their school experience. It also offers extended communication links and provides a valuable tool for students to connect with their teachers and fellow peers. Simple to use, the app offers a personalised dashboard with quick links to: The student’s timetable Any sanctions and rewards Any news bulletins and school news The school calendar The photo galleries The ‘My Profile’ section offers easy access to further information including: Teaching groups The school timetable Internal exam details (entries, timetables, results) External exam details (entries, timetables, arrangements, candidate details, results) School reports and assessments Attendance Activities Detentions Reward and conduct details There is also a helpful ‘Information’ area where students can access school news and bulletins (both current and archived news), the school calendar and the school directory. Useful push notifications mean that students can be notified about any updates or news in real-time. For example, students can receive a notification to inform them that their latest school report has been added to their profile or the location of their forthcoming hockey match has changed. The data used by the iSAMS Student app is encrypted to ensure that confidential information cannot be accessed by unauthorised personnel. Your school also controls the level of visibility of information offered to students. Please note: The iSAMS Student app must be installed by your school in order for it to be accessible to students. It will only work as part of the iSAMS management information system.
