End the paper-and-spreadsheet sprawl in primary-school admissions
Parents apply on a phone in traffic in two minutes. Your team reviews against live year-group capacity and confirms decisions by email — without the spreadsheet handoffs.
What primary-school admissions usually look like
Common frustrations we hear from heads, registrars and admin teams.
Paper applications at the gate
Stacks of forms picked up at the gate, illegible handwriting and missing pages — re-keyed by hand into a spreadsheet that nobody trusts.
Status lost in WhatsApp threads
Parents message, call and visit because they have no way to see where their application stands.
No clear placement view
Year-group capacity tracked in a notebook; siblings, waiting lists and bursaries handled from memory.
Sensitive data in shared sheets
Birth certificates, medical notes and family details sit in spreadsheets every staff member can open.
