 Set Up | Implementing Engage in your school is a partnership requiring effort from our team and the team within your school. Depending on the level of resourcing available for the project in the school, we typically see schools up and running with the Staff Portal active and available for attendance, calendars, and daybooks in three months. The completion of the implementation of the remaining elements will take another 3 to 6 months again depending on the resourcing available in school and the prevailing priorities for each element of the purchased solution. |

Really effective system which is intuitive to use. If you invest the time to get to really know the system it can be fantastic addition.
Emma Patel found Engage:
- Reduces teacher workload“Writing end of term reports, awarding house points, communicating with groups of parents easily”
- Provides school data“Easily access information required at an individual, class or year group level. Engage analytics is really helpful”
- Improves school processes“Exporting specific information about groups to other platforms. Engage analytics. More effective communication with parents.”
- Improves parent engagement“Messaging both ways is easy and effective. However parents have given feedback about 2 aspects which they find frustrating. They say that the web browser is good but the parent app is not. Also, the calendar is not good in that if you are in month view you can see the time of events but not if you are in week view.”
