Deep dive
Decisions, handoffs, and boundaries
Use these details to turn a product page into an implementation conversation.
Safety boundary
Health, safeguarding, visitor, and emergency procedures require explicit school policy and should not be inferred from a generic portal.
Boarding boundary
Boarding includes houses, beds, mess, roll call, outings, clinic, and safeguarding records, but those records are not separated per campus in a multi-school deployment.
Evidence layer
Read the supporting product and implementation material before making a capability claim.
Questions, answered
Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.
Can day and boarding siblings share a parent login?+
The parent model supports linked children, while boarding-specific views remain scoped to the boarder.
Test the guardian link and publication boundary with a sample family before inviting the wider parent community. Confirm that each linked child exposes only the records the school intends.
Does the boarding module replace safeguarding procedures?+
No. It can organise operational records but does not replace safeguarding governance or emergency policy.
Treat that boundary as an explicit procurement or deployment decision. Document the responsible owner and any supporting process before rollout.
Does one deployment keep boarding records separate for each campus?+
No. Boarding records do not carry a school identifier, so groups with several campuses should confirm whether one shared boarding record set is acceptable.
Treat that boundary as an explicit procurement or deployment decision. Document the responsible owner and any supporting process before rollout.
