School Spider

Used school-spider for 2 years

Jan 2019

School Spider has combined 3-4 previous systems in one. The software is intuitive and easy to use. One of their best features is their responsiveness to feedback. They are keen to hear feedback from those using the software daily so that they can make updates and improvements to make their offering even better. A great product run by really nice people!

Sam Rickaby found school-spider:
  • Slightly increases student collaboration
    We do not use the facility, but there is opportunity for students to blog, share work, comment etc.
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    Very easy to update web pages with no technical know-how needed. Useful features such as image auto resize and uploading videos make it really easy. Homework can be set and returned the site. Communication with parents is fantastic so messages can be sent to groups, individual pupils etc quickly.
  • Significantly improves school processes
    As a direct result of implementing School Spider, our school office is now completely paper and cash free. All parental communication is via School Spider saving time, money and is better for the environment.
  • Significantly saves school money
    No more printing letters to go out. Reply slips do not have to be manually dealt with. We replaced our previous text message system with School Spider, saving approximately £550 per year.
  • Significantly improves parent engagement
    The quick message feature means that parents get the message on the app, in their email and via text - no more missed messages! The email feature allows you to see exactly who has hasn't read the email and to chase accordingly.
