We’re quite a small school approx 250:students. We pay just under 2K per year, yes talks through an API, also has a club module with booking, can also run bookings through calendar events and deals with payment too. Doesn’t do video parent evening though. Do you use SOCS? Links with that too

We do ours through my school portal. We dumped the isams parent portal and went with them instead. Parents can read current data held within isams including medical and address data, then can request the change. You can set it to write back into isams but we’d rather see what’s changing then make the change ourselves.

We show our homework this way through teams too.

Sign in app here too. Can’t fault them

Hi, We’ve been with smoothwall now for coming up to three years. Whilst I like the product, the support is and has been appalling for the entire length of time we’ve been with you. To be fair, we’ve heard this for the las three years and it’s the same old story, we’re recruiting more people, changing our processes etc. I wonder why you always seem so short of support staff!

We’re doing the same. Training starting in July, moving payroll too. Bursar retiring this year too so outsourcing the actual payments etc!

What version of unifi are you on now? We have issues too with SSO and our smoothwall which sound very similar to yours. Have been advised not to run firmware updates though.

Hi, we are an isams school and use timetabler. We,moved to timetabler 3 years ago and I think it’s great. Yes, looks dated but does the job really well. Easy import into isams too if you wanted to. Feel free to DM if you have any other questions.

I’d be interested too, if you’d be so kind as to share your findings.

We’re moving to it this year. No bonus points for us though

I think I read somewhere that they’ve extended the license through til 1st October now.

This is exactly why we use the meet now option within channels. When you start a meeting like this, the meeting doesn’t start until the teacher is there and ends when they click on end for all. There’s no entry in a calendar which allows pupils to enter whenever they want. We don’t schedule any meetings for exactly this reason

That’s exactly what we’ve done. Although, you should also note that, in a private channel, you can’t record a meeting when you start it with meet now.

Independent prep school here

Isams from pass here too, 2nd year. Also used isams in previous school. Feel free to contact.
