Key Administrative Features.
From enrollment to events, announcements to homework and much more - The Schools Platform brings it all together to save time, reduce admin, & keep everyone connected for the duration of your learners’ school experience.
1. Teacher Dashboard
- Give teachers one simple, powerful interface to manage their day. From tracking attendance and creating events to assigning homework and reviewing student progress, the dashboard provides access to everything they need.
- Teachers can message students and parents, manage their classes, and log achievements, while reducing their need for paper systems or 3rd party tools.
2. Smart Student Onboarding
- Easily onboard students at any time - individually or in bulk - using digital forms that capture all essential details, from personal information to year group, emergency contacts, medical data, and more.
- Administrators maintain full oversight of real-time admissions registers to support compliance and reduce manual workload.
3. Attendance tracking and reporting
- TSP’s attendance module is built to meet the latest legislation and local education authority (LEA) requirements. Teachers can take registers from any device, with pre-built absence codes, automated reporting, and instant alerts for unsubmitted registers.
- Admins can set daily cut-off times, send reminders to parents, and generate compliance ready reports, including alerts for students with extended absences or required LEA notifications.
4. Parent Meeting Tracker
- Teachers and Admins can easily manage and log parent-teacher conferences with scheduled appointments, response tracking, and an up to date history of previous meetings. The system ensures smoother communication and greater accountability for everyone involved.
- Parents can select available times, receive reminders, and follow up through the same platform. No more lost emails or double bookings. Teachers and admins retain a centralised record of all interactions for reference.
5. Event & Reminder Engine
- Create, manage, and customise school events with ease, from sports fixtures and musicals to meetings and parent socials. Events can be tailored to specific groups, with RSVP options, kit lists, automated reminders, and calendar syncing.
- Staff can approve and update events in real time, while families stay informed via mobile or web, reducing missed dates and last minute confusion.
6. Communication hub
- This is a central messaging space designed for meaningful conversations between parents and teachers. With features similar to familiar messaging platforms, the hub offers secure, searchable, date-stamped threads, message history, and file attachments. Notifications ensure no message goes unseen, while all communication is stored securely for future reference and audit.
7. Dynamic Newsletters
- Send beautifully formatted school updates directly to specific groups, by year, class, or school-wide, with TSP’s intelligent newsletter builder. Whether it’s a weekly roundup, urgent notice, or termly review, schools can distribute targeted communications that reach the right people through the right channels, with built-in scheduling and analytics to track engagement.
