Why do schools need online parents’ evening booking?

Good question. Here’s the answer:

  • Efficiency
  • Power (away from children) to the parents 
  • Intelligent reporting
  • Proven impact on attendance figures
  • Unique ‘selling’ point for schools
And did you know:
  • Our system is being used on every continent in the world
  • And that our product is a market leading solution, as well as being extremely cost-effective
Read more and learn about how our market leading product is revolutionising the way schools manage parents’ evenings….

Efficiency
Schools, like all of us, are controlled by budgets. Our software helps makes schools as efficient as possible with both the administration staff and teaching staff time. Once set up, our system gets staff in and out of the system in 5mins. 5mins is all it takes to create a parents evening. Then both teachers and administrators can simply sit back and watch at parents populate the parents’ evenings themselves.

Power (away from children) to the Parents
Picture the scene. Little Jonny has been bad lately. It’s coming up to a parents’ evening. He’s in Mathematics and the teachers has left out the traditional paper booking form. He doesn’t book an appointment because his parents are ‘busy that night’. It happens all the time.

Our system takes the power away from children and places it firmly in the hands of parents. This is not only useful to combat problems like those above but also makes for a more suitable solution. When booking their appointments, parents can request certain discussion topics on the night and these could include Jonny’s behaviour or his last class test (which was a disaster, apparently).
Parents can schedule times which suit them meaning this system makes their lives easier and of course this system truly brings parents into contact with the school, improving their experience.

Intelligent Reporting

Once a parents’ evening has been held, administrators, organisers and school management will be very interested to know who attended, who didn’t, footfall figures and perhaps take advantage of the wide array of reporting options available. None of this would be possible without online booking.

Proven Impact on Attendance Figures

Our parents’ evening system is proven, across the board, to improve the connections between parents and teachers for parents’ evenings and bring both together. Parents’ Evenings will be better attended because organisers can see who yet to book appointments and can involve them.

The Parents’ Evening Booking System allows teachers and organisers to look ahead at specific parents evenings and see which parents have yet to book. Some households do not have internet, some parents will not be technology-savvy, so Teachers can liaise with parents and schedule appointments on their behalf if necessary.

Unique ‘Selling’ Point for Schools

Not every school is looking for a unique selling point but this system certainly helps schools stand out in the crowd. Technology as simple as our system is 

Our system is being used on every continent in the world

That’s right. Our main market has been Europe for the past few years but they use it in Mexico, they use it in Chile, they use it in Bahrain and they use it in a variety of other countries all over the world.

Our product is the a market leading solution and extremely cost-effective 

Contact us for a quote and a free trial, but we’re confident ours is the simplest solution to set up (judging by feedback from customers who have tried similar, less functional products) and prices are calculated per student rather than at a base rate, so that the software is affordable for all.
