Admissions Season Without Losing Enquiries

A school where enquiries arrive by phone, at the gate and through the website, and the follow-up depends on whoever happened to take the call remembering to make it.

Illustrative scenario · enquiry to enrolment

One list, every source

Walk-ins, calls and web forms in the same place.

Follow-ups scheduled

Owned by a person, with a date, not left to memory.

You can see the drop-off

Where enquiries stop becoming admissions.

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 the season looks like

The same rush, with the difference that nothing depends on a note on a desk.

An enquiry arrives

However it comes in, it becomes a record with a source, a contact and an owner.

Follow-up is scheduled

The next contact has a date and a person against it, and shows up on their list.

The family applies

Forms, documents and the application fee are collected against the same record.

A decision is made

Shortlisting and interview notes sit with the application, and admitted applicants convert straight to student records.

What actually changes

Schools rarely lose applicants to a better school. They lose them to a follow-up nobody made.

  • No enquiry depends on someone remembering a conversation.
  • The office can see how many enquiries are open and who owns each one.
  • Documents stay with the applicant instead of a shared drive.
  • You can compare sources and see which ones actually convert.
  • Admitted applicants become students without anything being re-typed.

Common questions

Can parents enquire and apply online?

Yes, and those enquiries land in the same list as walk-ins and phone calls.

Can we see which sources convert best?

Yes. Source is recorded on every enquiry, so walk-ins, calls and online can be compared.

Does the applicant record carry over on admission?

Yes. Details and documents move to the student record without re-entry.

Can we collect the application fee through the system?

Yes, through your connected payment gateway.
