School Manager

School Manager


SchoolAdministrator has been developed in conjunction with one of the leading Independent Senior Schools in the UK.

From their initial requirements, we have developed a system that is specifically designed to meet the needs and challenges of independent senior schools.

From the experience that we have gained from the junior school market with SchoolManager, we have developed a senior school product that not only deals with the latest curriculum requirements but has key links to other leading software, such as the 'VLE Studywiz', and text messaging software 'Clarion Call'.

SchoolAdministrator has been developed to provide a number of modules supporting key areas of management in a school, as well as providing an interface that teachers find easy and intuitive to use. Written in one of the world's leading database software packages, FileMaker Pro, the system is easy to maintain and manage, giving remote access to teachers to input information from any location.

The philosophy behind the development of the Senior School system has been the same as that for all CJM software: usability and flexibility, and always tested at the sharp end, in school.

Whilst we can describe the system in some detail the ease of use and the flexibility only really becomes apparent when you have a thorough look at the system. Call us now on 01452 857991 to arrange a full demonstration or contact us for more details through the contacts page of the web site.
