Federations and dioceses

School groups and federations.

For federations, diocesan groups and other multi-site organisations that are not a multi-academy trust. Each school keeps its own duty areas, rota and daily board. Sign-in, billing and reporting stay central. MATs should use the dedicated MAT rota page.

Several schools from the start

Sign up as a group with two or more schools, or add sites as you grow. Each keeps its own duty areas, weekly template and daily board.

Per-site setup profiles

Run a primary and a secondary under one organisation. Each school gets its own school-type profile, duty area presets and setup wizard, so nobody is forced into a shared model that does not fit.

Site switcher

Central staff move between schools in one portal without logging out. Links, exports and notifications stay tied to the right school.

Shared sign-in and provisioning

One school login and automatic staff sync setup for the whole group. Map people to schools with directory attributes or group names, and leavers lose access as soon as the directory says so.

Site-scoped access

A school office manager sees only their own school. Group-wide roles see everything. You decide who sits where.

Cross-site supply

Supply staff sit in a shared pool and can be dispatched to a school for a date range, without duplicate records or a second seat.

Group analytics

Roll coverage, unfilled posts and duty load up across every school, or drill into one. Compare schools over the same dates for a leadership or board report. Each school still keeps its own view of missed duty and intervention sessions.

Cover depth across sites

Lesson cover and clash-aware resolve run at each school. Optional AI chat is available per site if you want it. Central roles can still see cover pressure across the group.

Calendars and exports centrally

Microsoft 365 and Google Calendar sync and staff calendar feeds are configured once, with sync scope for duties and teaching, and branded exports carry each school's own logo and colours.

One subscription

A single subscription and seat pool across every school. Someone who works at three of them still counts as one seat.

Getting a group started

Go live school by school.

For larger organisations we can help with onboarding, including school login, staff sync and site setup before you go live.

  1. Step 1

    Sign up as a group

    Choose a multi-site organisation at signup and name each site. The portal and school login setup cover the whole organisation.

  2. Step 2

    Set up each school

    Pick a school-type profile per site (primary, secondary, all-through, etc.), then complete duty areas, staff and the weekly template. Site admins only see their own school's data.

  3. Step 3

    Connect your identity provider

    Set up school login and automatic staff sync once for the group. Map groups to roles and to individual schools, following our runbooks for Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace.

  4. Step 4

    Go live school by school

    Publish the first week at one school, let the office team settle in, then repeat. Group analytics start filling in as each school goes live.

Start trial

Seats count the staff who appear on your rota, so a person who works across three schools in a trust still counts once. Seat limits are hard caps rather than surprise overage charges: if your staff list outgrows the plan, move up a tier whenever it suits you. The trial itself does not ask for a card. Currency follows your school country (GBP for UK and Ireland, USD elsewhere). UK schools can start their trial online. Annual card subscriptions cost the equivalent of ten monthly payments. Our savings examples put these prices next to what the rota currently costs in leadership time.

Try it with your own school this term.

30 days free, no card, full product on your own data. Set the portal up when it suits you, publish your first day, and see what 07:40 feels like when cover is already proposed.
