Boarding and the school day finally read from one record

What it solves

A boarder’s hostel register and school register are kept apart, so nobody reads the whole day from one place.

Rooms, roll call, mess and leave-outs run inside the same platform as attendance, marks and fees, so a boarder’s hostel life and school day are one record rather than two that have to be matched by hand. (Hostel)

A campus with a day gate and a hostel gate keeps two separate accounts of who is on the premises.

Entry and exit are recorded once, wherever they happen, so a day scholar leaving through the front gate and a boarder signing out for a weekend both land in the same record. (Campus security)

A boarding parent is further from the school than a day parent, and hears about a leave-out or a result later than they would like.

The same app a day family uses carries a boarder’s attendance, marks, fees and leave-out approvals, so distance stops being the reason a parent hears last. (Mobile apps)

The features they use most

• Hostel — Rooms, mess, leave-outs and hostel fees running beside the day school rather than apart from it.
• Library, inventory and store — Library issue and return, stock, and the cafeteria and school shop.
• Campus security — Gate and visitor management, RFID and face-recognition entry, and verification of who collected a child.
• Mobile apps — Parent, student, teacher and management apps carrying attendance, fees, results, homework, notices and the bus on the phone.
