The school office, quietly in order.
Sparrow keeps a school's records — enrolment, attendance, SEN, safeguarding — in one calm, careful place. Built for UK schools, with data protection at its heart.
Everything a school office keeps track of.
One place for the records that used to live across spreadsheets, filing cabinets and half a dozen systems that never quite talked to each other.
Admissions & enrolment
Take a child from application to on-roll — parent forms, guardian details and the census data you need, collected once and kept current.
Attendance & the register
Daily registers, with parents able to report an absence or lateness from their phone — confirmed by the office, never marked automatically.
SEN & the register of need
Provision and needs recorded to the DfE's own codes, visible to the staff who teach a child, editable only by those who should.
Class allocation
Balance a new intake across classes by gender and need, with live counts as you go — a clear view while a person decides.
Parents, kept in the loop
Guardians see only their own children, report absences, and complete enrolment forms — a calm front door for families.
Built for the DfE
Attendance codes, SEN provision and pupil records structured for the statutory school census from the start — not bolted on after.
Children's data deserves more care, so we built for it first.
Sparrow treats pupil information as special-category data from the ground up — not as a feature added later. Access is scoped to who needs to know, sensitive details are encrypted, and every consequential action leaves an audit trail.
Less admin, fewer systems, a fairer price.
Time back for staff
A parent-reported absence becomes a register mark with one tap. The office confirms; it doesn't retype.
One system, not six
Enrolment, attendance, SEN and parent contact in one place, instead of stitched-together tools.
Priced for schools
Straightforward pricing designed to sit well below the established names, without cutting the corners that matter.
Third-party names are referenced only for comparison and are the property of their respective owners.
