Most Helpful Reviews

Satchel One

Ian Mead, i/c Managed service: Some aspects for attendance officer are awkard and don't provide a streamlined work flow. There are compromises that writing back to sims makes editing prior and future marks difficult. Some aspects are revolutionary like seating plans, badges and easy access to points.
S Yalden, Headteacher: Staff, parents and students are pleased with our expanded use of Satchel One and the benefits of bringing all these systems and processes under one umbrella package. The customer support is also very strong which is important with any IT based system.
Andy, Operations Manager: Really good product, when it becomes a full MIS I think it will be much more powerful then it is now. There are still refinements to be made for what schools want, but these readily become available and Satchel engage with schools based on their needs

Firefly Learning

Jo, Digital Platform Coordinator: I use Firefly for everything: teaching, testing, marking, informing parents, reporting, the school calendar, timetable and planning. The only paperwork I carry around is a small diary!
James Hoyle, Assistant Headteacher: The system is simple to use so the teacher can concentrate on pedagogy and the support Firefly offer if you have any queries is excellent.
