Keeps Kids In School...Fact!
Groupcall Messenger has been independently proven to reduce truancy by almost 30% in some authorities, and by more than 50% in some individual schools.
Groupcall Messenger is competitively priced, with subscriptions designed to suit the size and requirements of your school starting from as little as £229 per year!
Cuts School Bills
The cost of sending voice or SMS messages sent to mobiles and landlines dramatically cuts down time spent on the phone and, with it, the cost of calls, sometimes by hundreds of pounds a year. In addition to the cost savings with telephone bills, plenty of further costs can be saved by sending out electronic newsletters/letters, thus reducing the time and money spent on printing and postage.
Low Subscription Fees
Groupcall Messenger is quick, it is robust, it is inexpensive and, above all, it is proven.
Improves The Safety & Security of Pupils
By alerting parents early to a child's absence and confirming if it is genuine, Groupcall Messenger can deliver valuable, often crucial, time to authorities in helping to find a child, whether the absence is through truancy, runaway or even abduction.
