eSchools
eSchools provides communication and administration tools for primary and secondary schools, connecting staff, students, and parents through modular options. Its website CMS supports drag-and-drop editing, unlimited content, multi-staff access, social links, attendance tools, and SEO tools. A built-in checker flags missing statutory documents, including Pupil Premium strategies and SEN information. Teachers can create projects, homework, discussions, and bespoke pages, monitor student progress, and use quizzes, file storage, groups, calendars, class pages, shared content, and picture logins for KS1 pupils. School MIS data from Arbor, Bromcom, and SIMS can sync through Wonde to create accounts, classes, and groups. The free-to-download iOS and Android app gives parents access to school information, messages, attendance, and assignments; communications include email, push notifications, and private internal messaging. The privacy policy describes multi-factor authentication, regular security testing, staff training, and incident response processes. Personal data is stored on servers in the EEA, with SSL encryption in transit. eSchools was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in York, United Kingdom.
