Lead with a clearer picture of the school

A leader would ask in plain language and see the evidence behind the answer. Fees and health notes stay out.

For school leaders

The school, without a second spreadsheet

Leaders see planning, attendance and assessment for the school. Fees stay hidden from roles that do not handle money. A director’s group view, where it is built, is read-only and does not open learner, family or staff records.
