Independent & special schools
Everything a small school needs, nothing it doesn’t
Big school information systems are built for big schools. PupilDB gives smaller independent and special schools the essentials, in a system your office can actually run.
Sound familiar?
The problems we hear most
-
Paying for features you never use
Large MIS products are priced and designed for schools many times your size.
-
Nobody has time to learn it
Your office team wears many hats. Software needs to be obvious.
-
Compliance still matters
Staff checks and pupil welfare need the same care whatever your size.

Registers
Registers ready before the first lesson
Registers are built from your timetable, so your pupils are already listed. Mark present or choose an absence reason, and PupilDB chases any left unfinished.

Questions
Common questions
Is PupilDB a full replacement for a school MIS?
For many small schools it covers the day-to-day essentials. It doesn’t yet produce statutory returns, parent communication or billing, which are on our roadmap, so tell us what you rely on today.
