What PupilDB does today

Everything that keeps your day running, in one place

  • Pupil records

    Contacts, placement details, medical needs, allergies, Looked After Child status and SEN/ALN, with a one-click quick view.

  • Timetabling

    A clear weekly grid of teachers and time slots across all your centres, with protection against double-booking.

  • Registers & attendance

    Registers built from your timetable. Mark a whole day at once, and let PupilDB chase any unfinished registers for you.

  • Placements & outcomes

    Record who commissioned each placement and why, review targets every six weeks, and see where pupils go next and whether it lasts.

  • Daily log

    Staff note how each pupil’s day went. A lead checks the reports and sends them to each commissioning school in one go.

  • Behaviour & incidents

    Record behaviour, rewards, accidents and any use of force, see trends week by week, and print a parent copy of use-of-force records.

  • Safeguarding

    Any member of staff raises a concern in moments. Your DSL and deputies manage it, with a chronology and a log of who has looked.

  • Dashboard

    Today’s attendance, registers still to mark, DBS checks, behaviour and open concerns, at a glance when you sign in.

  • Reports

    Attendance against entitled hours and by month, behaviour and use of force, anonymised safeguarding figures for governors, and more.

  • Staff compliance

    Keep DBS dates, references, teacher registration, and safeguarding and first-aid certificates in date.

  • Set up your way

    Your own lists, your logo and colours, roles that decide who sees what, and only the modules you use. No IT department needed.

PupilDB in your language

Multilingual support is available on request. We can set up the screens your staff use in Welsh or another language, and pupil names are stored correctly in any alphabet.

Questions

Things people usually ask

Do you charge per pupil?

No. PupilDB is a flat monthly fee, starting at £150 a month plus VAT. The fee is set by broad size bands, so small changes in your numbers never change your bill, and archived pupils are free to keep.

Where is our data stored?

PupilDB is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the EU, in Ireland. The UK recognises the EU as providing adequate data protection, so no extra transfer paperwork is needed under UK GDPR.

Can you move our existing records across?

Most settings come to us from spreadsheets or another system. Tell us what you use today in your demo and we’ll talk you through how your pupil, staff and timetable records can be brought across.

Do new features and improvements cost extra?

No. PupilDB is feedback-led: what customers tell us drives the changes we make, and continuous improvement across the whole platform is included in your monthly fee. There are no upgrade charges or paid add-on modules.

Is PupilDB available in Welsh or other languages?

Yes, on request. PupilDB runs in UK English as standard, and we can set up the screens your staff use in Welsh or another language as part of getting you started. Tell us which languages you need when you book a demo and we’ll agree the details with you. Pupil names are stored correctly in any alphabet, accents included.

Is PupilDB a full school MIS?

Not yet. PupilDB covers pupil records, timetables, registers, reports and staff compliance, which is what most alternative provision, tuition centres and small schools need day to day. Statutory returns, parent communication and billing are on our public roadmap.
