Coming soon: More flexibility for activity sign ups

We’ve listened to your feedback — and we’re making it easier than ever to manage activity sign ups across multiple terms and academic years.

Currently, sign up settings can only be applied to one term or all terms within a single academic year. But we know many schools, especially in the summer, need more flexibility. That’s why our team is working on an update that will let you set specific sign up settings for any term in any academic year.

No more workarounds — just a smoother, more adaptable way to manage your activities.

Stay tuned for more details soon!

Celebrating another fantastic year at the Urdd WRU 7s

We were thrilled to once again support the Urdd WRU 7s tournament – now for the fourth year running! It’s always a highlight in the Welsh school sport calendar, bringing together incredible young talent, community spirit, and unforgettable sporting moments.

Our team was on the ground capturing all the action, and we’re excited to share some of our favourite photos from the tournament below. From try-saving tackles to team celebrations, it was a true showcase of school sport at its best.

Diolch o galon to everyone who made the event so special – and pob lwc to all the teams for the rest of your season!
