Student Information System Development

Student record covering the full enrolment lifecycle -- the application, the offer, the acceptance, the enrolment, the progression through the programme, and the completion or withdrawal. Contact information for the student and their emergency contacts, with parent and guardian details linked to the student record for schools and providers with parent communication obligations. Prior attainment data for students joining with existing qualifications, linked to the student record for the planning and target-setting that uses prior attainment as an input. SEND information and education health care plan data for providers with statutory obligations for students with special educational needs, stored against the student record with the access controls that protect sensitive information. Learner history across multiple enrolment periods for providers where students may return after a gap or transfer between programmes, with the full history accessible from a single record rather than requiring a new record to be created for each enrolment.

Enrolment workflow from initial application through offer, acceptance, and registration -- with the stages, the documents required, and the approval steps configured to your enrolment process. Programme management for providers running multiple programmes with different structures, duration, credit values, and qualification awarding body requirements -- each programme configured independently and the student's enrolment linked to the correct programme version. Module and unit selection for programmes where students choose from a range of options alongside core modules, with the selection recorded and the timetabling and assessment implications managed automatically. Apprenticeship management for providers delivering apprenticeship programmes -- the employer details, the training plan, the off-the-job training hours, and the gateway and end-point assessment records all maintained within the student record. Funding band management for further education providers with ESFA funding obligations, with the funding band, the learning aim reference, and the planned hours recorded in the format required for the Individualised Learner Record.

Attendance recording at the session level with the session type, the subject or module, the teacher or tutor, and the register taken by the tutor through a web or mobile interface. Attendance threshold monitoring with configurable alert levels -- a first alert when attendance drops below 90%, a second at 80%, and an intervention required flag at 75% -- triggering the appropriate pastoral or academic intervention workflow. Absence categorisation with the absence reason recorded at the point of marking -- authorised absence, unauthorised absence, or late arrival -- with the categorised data feeding directly into the attendance reports and the statutory return. Absence notification workflow where the parent or guardian is contacted automatically when an expected student does not attend, with the notification channel and timing configured to your safeguarding policy. Attendance trend reporting at the student, class, and cohort level for tutors, heads of year, and senior leaders, with the students whose attendance trend is deteriorating flagged for early intervention.

Assessment record management configured to the grading schema for each qualification -- letter grades for GCSEs and A Levels, points for frameworks using numerical grading, pass/merit/distinction for vocational qualifications, and custom grading scales for internally assessed programmes. Gradebook management with the assessments for each module and the grade and feedback entered by the teacher or assessor, with the record accessible to the student through their self-service portal. Predicted grades and target grades recorded alongside actual grades so teachers can track individual student progress against expectations and identify students who are falling below trajectory. Coursework submission tracking for qualifications with internally assessed components -- the submission date, the assessed grade, the moderation outcome, and the final mark recorded for each piece of work. Awarding body data export for qualifications where the provider submits candidate entries and results to an external awarding body, in the format the body specifies.

Timetable management for providers scheduling teaching sessions across multiple rooms, multiple teachers, and multiple student groups -- with the timetable built from the teaching requirements, the staff availability, the room capacity, and the constraints specific to each programme. Teacher and room allocation with conflict detection preventing double-booking of staff or rooms. Student group timetable generation producing the individual timetable for each student group from the master timetable, published to students through their self-service access. Cover management for staff absence where a session needs to be covered -- the cover teacher identified, notified, and the substitution recorded for the cover teacher's workload reporting. Room utilisation reporting showing room usage against capacity, occupancy by time slot, and the peak demand periods that inform room allocation decisions and estate planning.

Parent and guardian portal providing access to their child's attendance record, assessment grades, timetable, and any communications from the school or college -- visible to parents without requiring a phone call or a meeting with a tutor. Progress report generation from the student record data -- the report populated with attendance, grades, and teacher comments from the assessment record rather than assembled manually by the form tutor or class teacher. Absence notification workflow sending an automated message to the parent's preferred contact method when their child is marked absent and an expected reason has not been received. Parent consultation booking for parents' evening appointments -- the appointment slots configured by the school, parents booking their appointments through the portal, and the appointment list published to the teaching staff. Communication log recording all formal communications between the school and the parent -- the letters sent, the messages exchanged through the portal, and any conversations recorded as a result of a pastoral intervention.
