Schools Connect™ · Live · Beta

    Your school community, connected.

    Every school is surrounded by parents, alumni and local businesses who want to help. Schools Connect gives the school a simple way to ask, to find the right people, and to say thank you, instead of good offers getting lost in group chats.

    A tour of the real app, from joining to the impact report. Shown with Northfield Academy, a made-up school. Captions are available.

    For the school office

    Ask once. Find the right people.

    Asks with a target

    Post what the school needs, with a target in pounds or in hours. It is live in one click, and members are emailed straight away.

    An approval queue

    Every new member waits for the office. Nobody appears in search, on asks or on the wall without the school's say-so.

    Search in plain English

    Describe who you are looking for in your own words. Results come ranked, with the reasons each person matches.

    Pledges and deliveries

    Mark an ask as fulfilled, record who helped and how much, and confirm pledges once they have really been given.

    An impact report for governors

    Pounds and hours delivered this term, by category, kept apart from what is still awaited. Print it or export it as CSV.

    Your school's own colours

    Every email members receive carries the school's name and colours, so it always comes from you.

    For parents, alumni and local businesses

    Helping is one tap away.

    Join in about three minutes

    A one-time email code instead of a password, the school's own code, and a line or two about you. No CV, nothing formal.

    Raise your hand

    See what the school needs and how far each ask has got. Offer to help with a single tap, and the office is told at once.

    Recognition Wall and badges

    Contributions are celebrated on a wall private to the school community, with badges in the school's values. Earned, never bought.

    Works on a phone

    Everything works on a phone, so a parent can raise a hand from the school gate.

    Trust and safeguarding

    Built for schools.

    A private community per school

    Each school's community is joined only with its own code, and every member acknowledges the school's safeguarding rules.

    Your safeguarding page

    Each school has its own safeguarding page, naming the lead members should contact.

    People stay in control

    Members can download their data or delete their account at any time, and can choose to stay off the wall while their gifts still count.

    How it works

    Up and running this term.

    01

    Share your code

    Parents, alumni and local businesses join with the school code you give them.

    02

    Approve

    The office approves each member from one queue. Until then, nobody can see them.

    03

    Ask and match

    Post an ask, see who raises a hand, or search for the right person.

    04

    Thank and report

    Confirm what was given, celebrate it on the wall, and report the impact.
