How My School Portal helps independent schools

The parents of your students are time-poor but their expectations are high. Communication around lessons, extra curricular activities and events is important, helping them to stay updated with their child’s progress throughout their education.

This can be difficult for school staff, who juggle numerous demands while delivering an impeccable standard of service. My School Portal is here to bring everything together in one intuitive platform that helps parents, guardians, as well as the school and students, stay connected throughout their education journey.

The all-in-one platform for independent schools

Trusted by over 300 independent schools we understand what is important to your schools, students and parents.

Improve your communications

Communication is the key to a smooth-running school. Make that job easier than it should be by having everything you need all-in-one portal.

Emails and Messaging

An intelligent, decluttered and focussed inbox exclusively featuring all school communications. There’s no spam and parents don’t have to decipher crumpled paper letters. Secure notifications within our portal keeps communications smooth and parents know they have access to all the information they need whenever they need it.

An intuitive system enables individual student labelling and quick inbox searches to filter by date or term, or even per student for a multi-child household. Star ratings ensure important messages are flagged.

For busy parents this gives peace of mind that they know they are on top of the many different forms, trips, clubs and announcements your school makes.

For your admin staff they can flag important emails, ensure nothing is missed and most importantly get a quicker response rate.

Showcase your school

Everything is presented in one dashboard ensuring posting to your social media channels and newsfeeds couldn’t be easier. 

You can quickly post to your website, social media and more ensuring all communication channels are up to date.  

So you can share what’s happening in school with parents no matter where in the world they are.  

Simplify bookings & payments

Make it as easy as possible for parents to book and pay for everything school related from clubs to trips and activities.

Online payments

Recreate the efficient end-to-end experience that users now expect from online shopping. A basket feature allows parents to book multiple items at once, while integration with trusted and secure payment providers offers peace of mind. In addition to ad hoc payments, parents are able to automatically top up their child’s school balance, enabling them to seamlessly pay for and select their child’s school lunches.

Clubs and trip bookings

Parents aren’t overwhelmed by streams of last-minute payments, and schools can forward-plan with improved cash flow. Any school activity, from performances to clubs, additional tutoring to trips, can be booked and paid for using the portal.


The best feature of My School Portal is that it’s a one-stop communications point. It’s very intuitive. It’s straightforward for pupils and parents to use, and I think it’s very empowering.

Clubs

Create sessions for clubs and take payments all-in-one easy to navigate platform, making the process simple for busy parents to keep on top of.  

Amazon Alexa

At My School Portal we go that extra mile to give the best experience possible.  

Parents don’t even need to login to My School Portal to find out the information they need to know, they can just ask Alexa! 

Very popular with parents, our Amazon Alexa integration is a nice little touch that helps parents keep on top of their child’s activities, homework and school communications.    

Parents' evening

Our parents' evening system is the convenient solution for organising, hosting and streamlining those all-important discussions.

The online booking system gives parents better control over their appointments and online meetings allow teachers to spend time with parents no matter where they are in the world.

Teachers can provide feedback throughout the year via the platform, this constant stream of information ensures parents be better informed and means they can make better use of their parent's evening time rather than just being updated.

Keep everyone on top of learning progress

Help parents feel connected to their child’s learning journey with simple yet sophisticated features that help parents and guardians keep track of homework and progress.

Homework/Google assignments

We know that parents and guardians often want access to their children’s homework and assignments. To support our one portal vision, My School Portal dynamically integrates with Teams and Google Assignments, offering an overview with a single dashboard.

Myschoolportal Assigments
Home learning/Microsoft Teams

Set, manage, submit and mark all in one place.

For students that can’t be in school for a variety of reasons you can support them in the same way you do the children in your class.

As the digital transformation moves schools towards a full Microsoft 365 or Google Classroom setting, this integration future-proofs your digital strategy.

Student reports

End of term reports are expensive to print and incredibly time-consuming.

My school portal is the ideal way to send out reports. Online they are stored for parents to view, download and refer back to whenever they may need.

Not only that but teacher’s can use this to keep everything all in one place and help them deliver a better parents evening experience.

You can also share rewards, behavior points or attendance throughout the year.


We chose My School Portal for two key reasons. It was the ability to integrate a number of different systems and also that we found the relationship with My School Portal to be really beneficial. It was a proper partnership rather than simply being issued with something (for us) to use.

Save hours of admin time

New student onboarding

Simplify the experience for new parents and students from the beginning. MIS data integration pre-populates information for an uninterrupted experience.

Interactive forms for absence and more

Every school is unique. Create interactive, customisable mobile- compatible forms to streamline any area of your school admin.

Our schools often use this feature to build absence and leave request forms that can be submitted from anywhere, making the process quick and simple for parents. With the option to add supporting documentation or comments around the reasons for absence if required.

To support data compliance, schools choose where to send the secure notifications when a form is filled in. Administrators, tutors, headteachers and others are kept informed as and when they need to.

Save hours of admin time and reduce printing costs with our online forms.

MIS data integration

My School Portal integrates with all the leading Management Information Systems (MIS) providers, including iSAMS, SIMS, HUBmis, (PASS), SchoolBase and Engage.

This ensures parents, guardians or students can access all the information they need and it offers superior back-end efficiency for schools.

Student and academic data currently stored on your MIS is dynamically synchronised and included within our single sign-on portal. Your MIS information can be viewed alongside all other school and student data and it’s customisable too. A permissions-based process means that parents or guardians are only seeing what’s relevant to them.
