What's included in the SOCS Essential Plan
The foundation for less admin and more action so your team can focus on delivering a vibrant, engaging co-curricular programme across your school.
Sport
Trusted by over 90% of independent schools. From team sheets to fixture lists, our Sport tool will become the home of school sport.
Music
Harmonise your entire music programme, from individual lesson scheduling to performance planning, all in one place.
Co-curricular
Every club, society, clinic and activity, all handled with ease. Effortlessly manage sign-ups, registers, communications and reporting.
Tuition
Flexible scheduling and robust tracking for one-to-one and small group lessons, from LAMDA to Oxbridge preparation.
Features included across all SOCS Plans
SOCS tools share many of the same core features. But for added power, use them as building blocks for a fully integrated co-curricular management system that works seamlessly with your existing MIS/SIS and school portals.
MIS/SIS/VLE integration
SOCS tools integrate with each other and with all major MIS and school portals. Our easy export tools let you extract data ready for printing, while iCal and XML feeds ensure smooth integration with platforms like Google, Outlook, Apple, Firefly, and My School Portal.
Safeguarding and medical alerts
A top priority for every school, robust features support a comprehensive safeguarding framework. You can track student welfare, integrate medical notes, know precisely where every pupil is, and respond promptly to incidents with real-time notifications.
Reporting and analytics
Save time on admin tasks with greater insight into the co-curricular life at your school with report features filtered by activity, group, age, house, and individual. You can then guide those pupils who have taken on too much or those who aren’t engaged enough with the opportunities on offer.
Communications
Making sure everyone within your school community stays informed hassle-free is the cornerstone of keeping an open, positive dialogue between school and parents. You can tailor your comms using filters and sync with school portals and calendars.
SOCS Support
Our support team has had first-hand experience working in schools and truly understands the challenges you face. They will help you get started, making sure SOCS is fully integrated with your MIS and other software platforms.
Staff, parent and pupil portals
Fast, intuitive, fully connected front end for all staff, parents and pupils. The simplicity of single sign-on keeps the whole school community updated in real time.
