1. In designing SchoolCal we not only set out to create a redefining whole school communication platform but wanted to
ensure schools could incorporate our web and mobile apps into the ever-changing demands found the education market,
starting with the Ofsted inspection framework.
When a school is given notice of an inspection, SchoolCal can play a supportive role in in many ways.
Supporting you during Ofsted
Before the Inspection
Send an instant message to key
staff and governors letting them
know when the inspection is
Share a date reminder to staff &
governors that can be saved to
personal calendars
Send the inspection questionnaire
for school staff as a downloadable
PDF or a survey that can be
completed instantly
Send parents the formal
notification of inspection letter
Provide further information and
links to parents, staff and
governors on the inspection
process
Ask parents to complete the Ofsted
ParentView feedback through the
in app link
During the Inspection
Send meeting requests and diary
dates to all parents, staff,
governors and any other
stakeholders to meet with
inspectors during the inspection.
Use the survey template
throughout the year to collect
supporting evidence that
governors are aware of the
strengths and weaknesses of the
school.
Download results of any other
parent or pupil views collected by
the school through the survey
template.
After the inspection
Send a message to parents
informing where the final report
can be viewed
Publish the report as a link or
downloadable file
Between inspections parents can
complete the Ofsted ParentView
questionnaire at anytime via the

2. SchoolCal can save you £000’s on text
messaging, call charges and postage.
Reducing costs through technology
Supporting Value for
Money
Doing more with less will
undoubtedly become the challenge
many schools will have to face.
Increases in pension rates, changes
in National Insurance and
incremental pay awards will result
in expenditure outpacing income at
a quicker rate than previously
experienced
If your school is using paper, post
or text as a means of
communicating with parents,
governors, staff and pupils there is
a way to achieve better value for
money whilst reducing costs
SchoolCal is a web and mobile
application that supports whole
school communication and
provides an effective alternative to
expensive text and call charges.
SchoolCal goes even further than
saving money on paper, postage
and printing (although we do that
pretty well) because as a whole
school communication platform we
support value for money across the
school.
Just a few examples include:
Schedule the end dates of SLAs
and contracts with governors
to allow time to review
alternative options or
negotiate a better deal
Network with colleagues for
supplier recommendations
Survey end users of potential
new products and services
before making a purchase to
ensure key objectives are met
Send electronic copies of
supplier proposals to key staff
through our secure mailbox
