New features & updates

New features now live in SOCS Sport

We’re pleased to share that two brand-new updates are now available in SOCS Sport, designed to give schools even greater flexibility and control when managing team sheets.

Enhanced pupil filtering when selecting team sheets

You can now filter pupils by Year, House, Form, or Co-Curricular Club — not just by year group. This makes selecting the right pupils quicker and more precise, particularly for schools with complex structures or multiple team pathways.

Edit team sheets from previous seasons
You can now add or edit team sheets for previous seasons, as well as the current one. Whether you’re updating records, correcting historical data, or ensuring archives are complete, this new functionality gives you the flexibility to manage past seasons with ease.

As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please get in touch with us at support@socs.tech

Single Sign-On available with Schoolbox & Toddle

We’re pleased to share that Single Sign-On (SSO) is now available with Schoolbox and Toddle.

This update makes it even easier for staff and pupils to move seamlessly between platforms — improving accessibility, saving time, and simplifying day-to-day use across your school systems.

If you’d like to find out more about enabling SSO at your school, again please get in touch with the team at support@socs.tech and we’ll be happy to help.

Schoolssports.tv is gaining momentum

Since launching as the official live-streaming partner of the Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens, schoolssports.tv has continued to grow — and it’s been fantastic to see more schools and competitions embracing the platform to showcase their sport.

We’ve recently streamed some brilliant fixtures exclusively on schoolssports.tv, with audiences tuning in from across the UK and around the world. Access those here:

Girls Independent Schools Hockey Cup Finals Day 

South East Women’s Lacrosse Finals

And this is just the beginning. With more major events coming up on the road to Rosslyn Park, there’s plenty to look forward to.

Keep an eye on schoolssports.tv for upcoming live coverage and on-demand replays.

SOCS partners with Old School to champion schools sport culture

SOCS has announced a new partnership with Old School, uniting two organisations that believe schools sport is about more than results — it’s about pride, belonging, and community.

With SOCS’s support, Old School will continue to grow its international presence while staying true to the traditions that connect generations through school sport. Read our insight article here:
