Running More Than One Campus

A trust with several campuses, where each one keeps its own records its own way, and head office builds a picture by asking each of them for a spreadsheet.

Illustrative scenario · multiple campuses

Each campus runs itself

Its own classes, staff, fees and calendar.

One structure across all

The same fee heads, grading scheme and processes.

Head office can see everything

Without asking anyone to send a file.

An illustrative scenario. This page describes how eSchoolApp is designed to work in a situation schools commonly describe to us. It is not a case study of a particular school, and the figures and outcomes a school sees will depend on its own size, processes and starting point. If you would like to speak to schools already using eSchoolApp, ask us during a demo.

What changes for a trust

Campuses keep their independence. Head office stops chasing spreadsheets.

Campus-level working

Each campus manages its own admissions, attendance, fees and staff day to day.

Shared structure

Fee heads, grading schemes and processes can be defined once and used across campuses.

Trust-level view

Head office can look across campuses without waiting for each to submit figures.

Staff who move between sites

A member of staff working across campuses is one record, not several.

What actually changes

The problem with several campuses is rarely the campuses. It is that nobody can see all of them at once.

  • Head office stops assembling a picture from files sent by each campus.
  • Comparisons between campuses are like for like, because the structure is the same.
  • A campus can still do things its own way where it genuinely needs to.
  • New campuses start from the structure that already exists rather than from scratch.
  • Parents with children at different campuses deal with one school, not several systems.

Common questions

Can each campus have its own fee structure?

Yes. Structures can be shared where that helps and set per campus where it does not.

Can head office see all campuses at once?

Yes, subject to the permissions you set.

Can we control who sees what?

Yes. Access is set by role and by campus.
