FAQ

Questions Schools Ask Before Switching from iSAMS

Is Schoolites right for a UK independent school with statutory returns?
If DfE census depth is essential, check carefully — Schoolites provides operational exports, not full UK statutory workflows. International British schools are a strong fit.
Do you support British curriculum report cards?
Yes — key stages, IGCSE/A-level grading and custom report templates.
How is Schoolites priced?
A small one-time registration fee (covers onboarding, data import and staff training), then 1 month free, then a simple monthly price per student with every module included. We share the exact numbers on WhatsApp before you pay anything.
Can we try it before committing?
First 1 month free after a small one-time registration fee (covers onboarding & training). Most schools start with a 30-minute demo on their own data.
