What is TALAXY?
TALAXY provides a convenient platform for staff to log, manage, and monitor student information, while parents and students can access their individual school profiles. It offers a modular approach, allowing users to choose the desired features, such as attendance tracking, behaviour monitoring, homework management, grading, exams, seating plans, extra classes, detentions, timetabling, communication via text/email, room and resource booking, parents' evening organisation, payments, and more.
TALAXY incorporates various intervention options, including automated notices and push notifications for different behaviours, positive news, and homework assignments. With over 25 years of experience and leveraging our previous products, PARS and INSIGHT, TALAXY is a cloud-based Progressive Web App designed specifically for schools. It caters to individual needs, streamlines processes through automation and saves time.
As a comprehensive solution for educational institutions, TALAXY eliminates the need for multiple costly systems by providing a unified login for all features. Its seamless integration allows for efficient tracking and analysis of data, including graphical representations for key information. Whether analysing data within a single school or across a trust, TALAXY serves as an umbrella solution. For example, it enables the analysis of attendance data for all Year 7 pupils within a Multi-Academy Trust (MAT).
Users can access TALAXY with a verified email account, such as Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook, or a Management Information System (MIS) ID. The software is cost-effective, user-friendly, intuitive, and secure. It is compatible with any web browser or device and supports multiple MIS, although TALAXY can be used independently as an MIS in its own right for smaller establishments or those with variable timetables, such as a Pupil Referral Units.
TALAXY is a cloud-based solution hosted on secure Amazon Web Servers, ensuring data protection and reliability.

These authorised contacts can view specific information determined by the school for the relevant children. For instance, the LA attendance department can log in to view attendance data for Looked After Children (LAC) exclusively. This feature enables quick access to important data and saves time.

It is a great value for money package which has a multitude of different modules that you can chose from to help make your school more efficient. The fact that the interface is consistent for Staff, Parents and Children alike makes it easier to access and more consistent to use.
Andrew found TALAXY:
- Significantly saves school money“We have become a more paperless organisation. Students can access all school information through TALAXY without the need for a physical planner and Parents can receive school documentation direct to their TALAXY portal. It has saved us a significant amount of money over the last 2 - 3 years”
- Significantly reduces teacher workload“Everything is in one place, Attendance, Behaviours, Seating Plans, grading and pupil information all in one package”
- Significantly improves school processes“On Call to report missing students, medical incidents. QR Registration for sixth form students leaving school during lunchtimes. Quick analysis of data and ability to create bespoke reports to analyse a range of information. We have also centralised SMS and E-Mail broadcast within TALAXY giving more staff the freedom to contact parents directly.”
- Significantly improves parent engagement“Online parent's evenings have matched historic in person arrangements. Cashless Canteen module has been of particular benefit to parents to monitor what they child eats. The absence module means parents can report absence without having to ring school. These have all had a positive impact on parental engagement with the school. Parents can also see exactly what achievements and behaviours have been accrued daily.”
