FAQs

What is "per-school pricing," and how is it different from per-pupil or per-staff pricing?

With per‑school pricing, you pay one fixed annual fee—no matter your number of students or staff—so you get full access to bundled modules at a predictable cost. In contrast, per‑pupil or per‑staff pricing means fees go up as your school grows, and costs can quickly become unpredictable.

Which pricing model offers better value for schools and trusts?

For most schools, especially those planning to grow, per‑school pricing offers better value and stability. You get integrated modules—like finance, HR, and parental engagement—without hidden fees or fluctuating costs.

Can I start with just one module and add more later?

Absolutely. You can begin with a focused bundle like Financial Focus or Thriving People and add more modules whenever you need them—full flexibility designed around your school’s changing needs.

What’s included in each bundle (Financial Focus, Thriving People, Freedom)?

Each bundle offers a mix of complementary modules tailored to your goals:

  • Financial Focus – Budgeting, financial forecasting, customizable reporting
  • Thriving People – HR tools, payroll services, employee wellbeing support
  • Freedom – Covers all aspects, including finance, people, parental engagement, and more

Every bundle comes with a single-contract pricing advantage.

Are there any hidden costs I should know about?

No—per‑school pricing means you won’t encounter variable costs based on headcount or student numbers. You pay one clear, upfront price for the academic year, with optional add-ons available if your needs evolve.

How does pricing work for Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs)?

MATs benefit from predictable costs across all schools. Each school pays a fixed per‑school fee regardless of size, making trust-wide budgeting simpler and more consistent.

What additional support is included with my pricing bundle?

Every bundle comes with a Customer Success Plan to guide you from onboarding through to full adoption. Plans include specialist support, workshops, training, and ongoing check-ins—so you’re never on your own.

Can I see a module list if I’m shopping school finance tools only?

Yes. If you choose Financial Focus, you'll get key features like:

  • DfE automation
  • Standard chart of accounts
  • Electronic bank reconciliation
  • Instant and custom report generation

All built into one intuitive, school-friendly package.
