When we first speak to a school interested in our software, we ask them what they are using already. Then comes the long list of separate software providers, one for messaging parents, one for parents to make payments, one to send homework... the list goes on. Not only do parents get fed up logging in to multiple systems - your school budget is taking a hit, too.

The organisation of school pupils into after school clubs and the associated admin has always been a complex and time consuming exercise for schools. Allocation of pupils to extra curricular activities, chasing parental consent slips and collecting fees can take days, and they’re generally dreaded tasks for school staff at all levels. This was the issue at Hilltop Primary School in Crawley before they enlisted the help of intuitive and wide-reaching activities management system SchoolsBuddy, which now saves at least one member of staff at the school a huge 25 hours a week of work.

Appearing at the Bett Show this week is SchoolsBuddy, an innovative, intuitive and wide-reaching activities management system to benefit all levels of teaching. Uniquely app-driven, SchoolsBuddy is a mobile solution for communicating among parents, pupils and staff, organising activities, running after-school clubs and helping to safeguard pupils all in one revolutionary system. Full of features to assist both teachers and school leaders, the SchoolsBuddy team will be hosting Bett Stand G310.
