School briefing
A concise walkthrough of the Tailored School portal for staff, students, and parents — how daily work happens, and what each person needs to do this week.
Purpose
Keep one source of truth for learners, attendance, results, fees, and notices. Staff work in the school portal. Families use the student portal and email.
Register learners, mark attendance, publish results, collect fees, and send notices from one signed-in workspace.
Sign in with a registration number to see subjects, homework, reports, attendance, and fee statements.
Apply online, track admissions, receive notices and invoices by email, and use the learner’s portal for reports and fees.
Access
The full system for administration, teaching, accounts, and the student portal. This is the main tool for staff.
Teachers mark class attendance on a phone, even without internet. Students can open homework, reports, and fees on the same app.
Where included, the desktop app keeps cash desk and selected school work available if the internet drops, then syncs when it returns.
Your school’s own name, logo, and colours appear on the portal. Screenshots here are from a live school, so the labels will differ.
Sign in
Open your school portal URL. Choose Staff Portal or Student Portal before you type.
Staff home
After sign-in you land on a workspace that matches your role. Administrators see school-wide counts. Accounts staff can go straight to cash desk.
Learners
Filter by campus, year, class, and day/boarder. Open a learner to see the full workspace.
Overview, academics, attendance, student file, exam reports, and finance on one learner.
Daily teaching
On the phone, the same register can be marked offline. It syncs when the network returns. Do not mark twice in two places for the same class and date without checking the register.
Results
Unpublished work stays internal. If the school blocks reports for unpaid fees, the student portal explains that clearly instead of showing a blank page.
Accounts
Cash desk: find the learner, record the amount, hand over the receipt.
Finance workspace: invoiced, collected, outstanding, and invoices to guardians.
Families
There is no separate parent password. Treat the student portal as the family login and keep it private.
Notices
Keep guardian emails on student records current. That is how invoices and parent notices arrive.
