Clear answers before your school starts.
Current information about pricing, access, onboarding, web, Windows Desktop and Android Mobile.
How long is the free trial?
One full school term. The subscription charge is waived for that complete term.
Is the trial really one full school term?
Yes. It is intended for real use in your school environment for one complete term.
Does the $30 setup fee still apply during the trial?
Yes. The $30 once-off setup fee pays for initial school configuration and onboarding; it is not waived.
What happens after the trial?
Your school can continue at $2 per student per term. Discuss any optional modules or special work separately.
How is the $2 per student charge calculated?
Multiply the number of students by $2 for each term. For 150 students, the ongoing subscription is 150 × $2 = $300 per term.
Can we enable more modules later?
Yes. Modules can be requested as your operations grow. Availability and any separate quotation are confirmed in consultation.
Does Tailored School work without internet?
The web portal needs internet. The controlled Windows Desktop pilot supports selected local student and finance workflows; Android teacher attendance can be captured offline within its verified grace window and synchronised later. This is not full offline support for every module.
Does the desktop application require a LAN?
No. Desktop-only mode runs on one installed computer and is the default pilot profile.
Can multiple computers use the desktop installation?
Optional LAN mode allows authorised devices on the school network to connect to one local server computer. It is not required and needs a reviewed deployment.
Is there an Android application?
Yes. It is currently being rolled out to participating schools. The central download button will activate when a verified release URL is published.
Who can use the mobile application?
Teachers can use class attendance and homework workflows. Students can use supported schoolwork features. Authorised admin roles can use staff attendance when enabled. Access depends on role and enabled modules.
Can parents use the system?
A parent mobile or portal experience is not currently advertised. Schools can communicate notices and configured emails to guardian contacts through supported web workflows.
Can we import existing student records?
Bulk student onboarding tools exist, but the format and suitability of existing records must be reviewed during onboarding. Import should not be assumed to be automatic.
Do we receive onboarding assistance?
Yes. The once-off setup covers initial configuration and onboarding for the school portal.
How are school records protected?
Access is authenticated, scoped to a school and controlled by user roles. Specific retention, backup and deployment responsibilities are confirmed during onboarding; no system can replace the school’s own security and backup practices.
What happens to local data before it synchronises?
Supported desktop and mobile changes remain in a local queue with a visible state until synchronisation succeeds. Failed or conflicting items remain available for retry or review rather than being silently discarded.
