Board portal versus school record in London
London independents sit with the Independent Schools Council and inspections that parents already know how to read, while maintained and academy schools answer to the DfE and Ofsted. Borough admissions and independent applications are different doors that still produce a child who needs a timetable on Monday.
The year starts in September. VAT treatment of private school fees has become an evaluation question for independents; do not hide it in software slogans — itemise what the school actually charges. Local named facts include Ofsted, DfE, Independent Schools Council, September term. Instrument: school SIS as source of truth; board portals as filing surfaces. GBP independent fees; VAT treatment is a school-and-policy matter to itemise, not a software claim about UK tax law. September term with half-terms that must drive attendance, not a US-style quarter overlay.
undefined Board circulars win. If the product cannot file, say so and export. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.

Board circulars win. If the product cannot file, say so and export. Borough vs independent tracks; shared-custody contacts are common and must both reach the portal.
