School spider is great but we would recommend some improvements. It is very difficult to find previous texts. Other systems show the name of the pupil as part of the reporting system. Parent information is also listed by parent first name rather than by pupil name. Ideally should prefer this sorted by pupil surname and then parents linked to the child. The payment system is very basic. We have had problems with the texting system and overcharging.
