Hackney eSchools offers a range of packages to support the day-to-day activities of your school. Whether your needs are a new school website to help drive up admissions, improving parental communications or embracing online learning we have a package for you.
What's included?
Hackney eSchools packages include:
- School websites - Stand out to current and prospective parents as well as the local community. Our expert design team will help you realise your vision. Our new website editor has been built using over ten years of customer feedback. Schools love the simplicity of our new inline editing tools
- Parental communication tools - Communicate effectively and efficiently with parents and staff using methods such as text messages, emails and our free mobile app for parents and carers. Spending lots of money on text messages? Why not save hundreds of pounds a year with our free push notifications? The mobile app also displays pupil attendance data which can help you boost your attendance levels
- Online learning tools - Our learning platform provides a number of tools to share learning resources securely with pupils, assign homeworks and quizzes which can be completed within the platform. It also provides a safe space for pupils to communicate with their classmates
- Parents evening booking system - Take away all the admin stress associated with parents evenings by getting parents to book online. Teachers can set their own break slots and mark attendance whilst those preferring a paper copy of their appointments can download a printable schedule
Alongside your selected features you will also get access to free unlimited online training plus telephone and email support so you’re always covered if you have a problem you can’t solve, you need a refresher or when new members of staff join.
You will also have access to the eSchools Academy and our weekly update email so you’ll be able to make full use of your Hackney eSchools package.
