School leadership

A management dashboard for decisions based on numbers

The school owner and the head teacher no longer ask the school office for reports or wait days for an Excel sheet. Marks, attendance, income and spending are in view at any time, students who need attention show up before it is too late, and every change is recorded with a name and a date.

From the Excel sheet to today’s picture

In many schools, leadership only knows how things stand when someone prepares a report. And when the numbers do not add up, it is hard to see why, and harder still to know who changed what.

Without a system

  • The owner asks the school office for a report and waits days for an answer.
  • A class’s poor results only come to light in the end-of-term mark sheets.
  • Each school in the group has its own spreadsheet, and the numbers never match.
  • Several people share the same password, and nobody is accountable for anything.
  • Nobody can say who changed a figure, or when.

With Escola360

  • Marks, attendance, income and spending in view at any time, including from home.
  • At-risk students show up in time for the school to act.
  • Every school in the group on one dashboard, with the same indicators.
  • Each person has their own login, the profile for their role and two-step verification.
  • Every change is recorded: who, what, when, and what was there before.

The school’s numbers and access control on the same dashboard

Academic indicators

Averages and performance by grade, class and subject, so you know where the school is doing well and where it needs support.

Financial indicators

Tuition fees received and outstanding, income, expenses and the balances of cash desks, bank accounts and mobile wallets.

Attendance

Student attendance and absences by class and by period, so you can act before absences become a problem.

At-risk students

The dashboard flags the students who need attention, so that leadership and class teachers can speak to families in good time.

Several schools on one dashboard

School groups see each school and the group as a whole on the same screen, with the same indicators.

Reports in PDF and Excel

Reports with the school’s logo, ready to print, take to the board meeting or send to the accountant.

Access profiles by role

Head teacher, treasury, school office or teacher: each person sees and does only what falls to them.

Audit trail

Every change is recorded with the author, the date and the value before and after. No more arguments without evidence.

Two-step verification

As well as the password, sign-in is confirmed with a second step. A leaked password is not enough to get into the system.

Staff joining and leaving

New staff receive an invitation with the right profile. Anyone who leaves loses access the same day, on every device.

A week in school leadership, with Escola360

It is Saturday morning and the owner is travelling. On the laptop, the dashboard shows the group’s three schools side by side: the average for each one, the week’s attendance, what has come in and how much is still to be collected. There was no need to phone anyone.

On Monday, the head of academics notices that Grade 8B has more at-risk students than the other classes. Before the end of the month, the class teachers have already spoken to the families, rather than waiting for the mark sheets to come out.

That same week, a member of the treasury team leaves the school. The administrator closes her access within minutes, and the colleague replacing her receives an invitation with the treasury profile. A fuel expense that looked high is cleared up in the audit trail: who entered it, when, and what was there before.

The school’s data, kept safe

Each school’s data is kept separate from that of other schools and is stored encrypted. Each user sees only what their profile allows and signs in with two-step verification, and everything that is changed is recorded in the audit trail.

Backups are continuous and the platform has 99.99% availability. Data protection is written into the contract with the school, and the data always belongs to the school: it can be exported in whatever format the school wants, whenever it wants.

Each level of leadership with its own view

Owner or school groupSees every school on one dashboard: results, attendance, income and spending, without relying on reports put together by hand.
Head teacher and head of academicsFollow marks, attendance and at-risk students, and take reports to meetings.
Finance directorKeeps track of tuition fees, income, expenses and balances by period, and exports everything for the accountant.
System administratorGrants and removes access, sets the profile for each role and checks the audit trail when needed.
