Why schools choose us

Your emergency plan is only as good as your communication.

When disruption strikes, your school's ability to respond quickly and demonstrate control is what protects staff, pupils, and reputation.

📋

Regulatory Confidence

Every message sent is logged, timestamped, and reportable. Demonstrate to Ofsted, governors, and local authorities that your emergency planning isn't just a policy document — it's a working system.

🛡️

Duty of Care — Delivered

Whether a lone staff member, a remote site, or a full school evacuation — know exactly who is safe, who has responded, and who needs follow-up. In real time. Every time.

⏱️

Hours of Leadership Time Saved

Remove the stress of manual coordination. What used to take a business manager an hour of phone calls happens automatically in seconds — with a full audit trail waiting for you.

Getting started

From sign-up to sending in a single day.

No IT project. No lengthy procurement. Most schools are operational within 24 hours — here's exactly how it works.

1
Setup

Your branded console is created for you

We build your private administration console, branded to your school or MAT and configured to your structure. Ready before you even log in.

2
Setup

Assign your administrators

Grant admin access to the right people — by site, department, or role — with full control over who can send which alerts.

3
Setup

Upload and organise your staff

Import contacts from any format — Excel, CSV, MIS system exports. Categorise by site, department, or key stage.

4
Live

You're up and running

Console live, staff loaded, admins in. You can send your first alert today. Most schools reach this point within 24 hours.

5
Maturity

Test, drill, and build confidence

Run a live fire drill. Confirm delivery rates. Familiarise your team with responding. The best time to test your plan is before you need it.

6
Maturity

Build your pre-approved message library

Create ready-to-send messages for every scenario — evacuation, lockdown, IT outage, adverse weather closure. Written when heads are clear. Ready when they're not.

Setup — typically day one
Live — you're operational
Maturity — ongoing resilience

Audit. Evidence. Control.

Your incident response, on the record.

Schools and MATs operate under significant scrutiny. When something goes wrong, Ofsted, governors, and local authorities will want to know what you did and when. The Calling Tree gives you instant, auditable communication — a complete, timestamped record of every alert sent, every response received.

No more reconstructing a chain of events from memory. No more relying on a manually managed phone tree that nobody tested. A credible emergency plan, evidenced in writing.

Ofsted-ready incident records Every communication is logged and exportable — ready to support your obligations under safeguarding and health & safety legislation.
Multi-channel delivery — nothing missed SMS, voice call, and mobile app simultaneously. Critical messages get through even when networks are under pressure.
Real-time response tracking See exactly who has received, read, and responded. Immediate visibility — not a report you pull the next morning.
Instant leavers & joiners Remove someone from the console and their access stops immediately. Bulk MIS uploads keep your staff roster current.
Your administration console

Fully branded. Completely yours.

Manage staff, documents, call trees, and messaging from your private web portal. You are in control.

Personal Onboarding

We work with you.

From initial demo right through to school-wide roll-out, we work alongside you to ensure you get the best possible result. Our personal onboarding assistance gets you up and running in no time — without involving your IT department.

App Roll-out in Minutes

No IT project required.

Send staff a time-sensitive code. They download the app, enter the code, and they're connected. Available on iOS and Android, it's the one thing you can guarantee your staff will have close at hand 24/7.

Security & Access Control

Right information, right people.

You control who has access to what. Assign documents, contact lists, and alert permissions by department, site, or role. Restrict access to sensitive information as fits your school's safeguarding policy.
