Apps for Secondary Schools
Secondary School Apps Built for Your School
At Key Stage 3 (KS3), students begin to encounter significant decisions about their future. Should they pursue sixth form college, aim for university, or opt for technical qualifications?
Parental involvement is crucial in guiding these choices, and our apps for secondary schools can be incredibly beneficial during this period.
Key High School Events
Secondary schools often have busy schedules filled with events for both students and parents, particularly around exam periods and times when major decisions need to be made. Having a calendar of events integrated into your secondary school app can enhance parental engagement by keeping them informed about important revision periods and additional study sessions.
Reduce Communication Costs
Frequent communication across the school can be costly due to printing and texting expenses. With a secondary school communications app, you can cut these costs by uploading information directly to the app. The app then sends out notifications to parents in one go, eliminating the need for numerous individual messages. It’s really that simple.
Making the Most of Technology with Secondary School Apps
There is a growing trend for schools to adopt new technologies to support teaching and administration. A secondary school app can enhance parental engagement, demonstrate progress to Ofsted and governors, and streamline administration and communication.
[Our school app] has significantly reduced the cost of postage and text messages. The annual cost of the mobile app is very low; it actually costs us more to send out two whole school letters! It saves us money on postage, paper, printing and labour for enveloping and stamping the mail.

Improve Parent Teacher Communication
Better Parental Engagement
With a school app, you can quickly and easily send messages, notifications and alerts directly to parents’ phones or tablets. It’s the ideal reference point for parents to find out information about events, term dates, school news and more.
Reduce Admin For Staff
Communication with parents can be difficult and schools are well-aware of the “missing newsletter in the school bag” scenario. With a school app, replies are collected automatically and users can be prompted if a response is overdue.
Reduce The Costs Of School Comms
Schools spend a lot of money on printing costs. School apps can help to reduce this by thousands of pounds. Content and materials can all be distributed digitally with a school app that can be downloaded from both the Apple and Android stores, and they not only cut the costs mentioned but they’re also eco-friendly.
School Apps Are Forward Thinking
It’s important for schools to make the most of the technology at their disposal. A customisable school app is must in the 21st Century, with smartphones being the most effective method of communication in all areas of life, including schools. Using the app to improve parental engagement and collect feedback also provides evidence to governors and Ofsted of the school’s effectiveness.
