School management platform Skuul

One platform for the whole school, and the school's own website.

A multi-school management platform covering admissions, academics, timetables, results, attendance, fees and communication - with a public website for each school run from the same dashboard.

Schools run on a mix of exercise books, spreadsheets and separate tools for admissions, results and fees. Information is retyped between them, arrears get lost at promotion, and parents have no single place to see what the school knows.

Groups and districts running more than one school have it worse: there is no shared view across campuses at all.

We modelled the school the way it actually runs - academic years, terms, departments, classes and subjects - and built each office function on top of that shared structure so that records are entered once.

Every person gets their own view: administrators, teachers, parents and students each see the part of the system that is theirs.

Skuul centralises admissions, academics, timetables, attendance, marks and report cards, fees and communication. Each school keeps its own data, staff and branding, while a group or district administers several schools from one login. A public website for each school - news, programmes, staff, admissions and results checking - is managed from the same dashboard.

  • Roles Administrators, teachers, parents and students each see their own part.
