All information in Plus4Schools is held under secure control using advanced password mechanisms similar to online banking websites and changes to records are fully audited, so you remain in control at all times. Its structured approach also greatly assists your compliance with Data Protection regulations.

The up-to-date pupil database is also at your fingertips, creating a reliable, available reference that allows the school to create value from information that would otherwise be locked in an office or too time consuming to regularly use.

"Security of data is a big concern at the moment because of GDPR and I know that P4S has two factor authentication, holds the data in the UK and doesn't use our data for marketing and that's a big headache taken care of."

"P4S saves so much time and manpower; it doesn't need a Network Manager to look after it."

"There's tailored security access to all the data so whoever needs to have access to certain data, has it and it's all in one place."

"P4S has speeded up the report writing cycle so much that it's allowed us to introduced a half term reporting cycle as well."

"The results are showing through our academic performance."

"P4S initially tailored the reports to reflect the layout that we had before, so the transition from our old system was easy. Since then, we've taken the opportunity with their help, to design new grade card layouts so the parents have a snapshot of their children's progress mid term as well."

"I can write my reports at the same time as everyone else now. Previously, I'd have an intense weekend to write a summary of each student but now I can fit it in with everything else that comes with the end of term!"

"P4S tailored the design of the report to our existing style and the parents haven't noticed the difference."

"There are different types of Management Reports available just as you would have in any other business."

"P4S has an easy to use Pupil Dashboard to see a snapshot of the whole student, pulling in data from throughout the database; really useful when writing a reference for the next school or university."

Report writing gets so much easier for Heads of Department when you start to write reports in parallel as a team. That means fewer edit-review cycles, because inconsistencies of appraisal and language are immediately obvious. The team now becomes self moderating, saving subject leaders and form tutors lot of time at final review stage and fewer changes fed back down the line shortens the whole process too.

The advanced features of Plus4Schools mean that both pupil and parents become more engaged in the process and derive greater ownership of the future targets, and stronger educational outcomes typically follow.

"I can easily see what letters and communications have been issued to parents and I don't have to spend time chasing around to find out if notices and replies have been actioned."

"One of the sections in the Database is the Interest Groups; the students' outside interests and clubs are recorded. I can find out about the whole child."

"P4S has photos which has made it easier for the teaching staff to get to know their new teaching groups, especially useful for part-time staff and specialist peripetetics who have less contact time to get to know the pupils better."

"In P4S's Assessment Module, there are time saving things like different views of the data - by Pupil, by Class, by Subject etc. so I can home in on whatever I'm working on at the time."

"I introduced a new assessment system and it's been easy to enter the data into P4S. The graphs show the team instantly what they need to know. It's really paid off with students' achievement really taking off."

"P4S configured their Assessment Module to fit our way of monitoring students; I knew what I wanted to achieve and they've been so flexible in working with me to make it happen."

"The traffic light system in P4S gives instant visual feedback on progress in each reporting cycle."

"There are so many handy things in P4S to make report writing simpler. The team can refer back to past reports to monitor progress."

"I used to have to proof read all my department's reports in a weekend and now I can do it at a more leisurely pace."

"As in most schools, the teaching team have two roles, a Form Tutor and a subject teacher. They can all look at data in different views qucikly. It works equally well for subject specialists and pastoral tutors and is perfect for those that have both roles."

"Our school had a complicated reporting requirement but P4S could cope with our needs and we've since developed it and made improvements."

"P4S allows me to pull out information without having to bother the Admin Team (and wait for it to arrive)."

Plus4Schools gives staff the freedom to work at school or at home, at a time and place that's convenient to them, but thanks to it being all online, there's no overhead of maintenance or big learning curve.

With the familiar look and feel of Office type applications, Plus4Schools has been designed in collaboration with, and to service the needs of UK Independent Schools. Mirroring the way your school is organised, you can be up and running with less than an hour's training, it's so easy to use.

Share work with your colleagues and avoid duplicated effort, especially at reporting time when everyone is under time pressure, and you'll wonder why all new IT systems can't be as easy to adopt as this.

"My team types all the letters into P4S, which distributes them to the parents simply and quickly. No having to upload documents and I know that they arrive, unlike using 'bag post'."

"P4S sends us an alert when a parent updates their data, has replied to a letter."

"Easy access to emergency contact numbers has made life simpler in the General Office and Medical Centre. All the essential information is there in one place."

"Easy to use tools with everything that I need. It's great that parents can update their own details and I can get an alert when that's happened."

"Extra curricular activities are listed in the Assessment Module. That's great as it shows that the parents are getting good value from the variety of extra activities that we provide."

"Reporting always happens at a busy time of year. It used to fall to my team to print, collate, stuff envelopes and post the reports. Automatic secure publishing online makes sure the right parent gets the right reports without any embarassing human error mistakes that occasionally used to happen with the volume of work."

"Another big benefit is the cost is reduced as well but cutting printing and postage, although a small number of parents still prefer paper copies and it's easy to accommodate that too."

"Even the overseas parents get their reports at the same time as the UK ones and there's no danger of them being lost in the post."

"Much less tension in the staffroom is a bonus too!"

"Teachers can print things like their own medical lists for their trips, so they're more self reliant and that reduces the constant flow of interuptions to the Admin Team for routine things."

"It's easy to check things like which students have medical allergies before the School Nurse treats them."

"P4S allows graded access to the data, so the Catering Staff can find out who's got a food allergy and they don't have access to anything else. I'm confident that data is accessible where it's needed, but also that it's not a free-for-all with only those staff that are custodians of each type of data able to make changes."
