Why PupilDB

Too big for spreadsheets, too small for a big MIS

Between a spreadsheet and a big-school information system there’s a gap. PupilDB was built to fill it, for settings where the day is complicated but the team is small.

  • Built in a real setting

    Designed alongside a working multi-centre education provider, and used every day.

  • Sized for smaller settings

    The essentials done well, without the modules and training a big-school system needs.

  • Priced fairly

    A flat monthly fee in broad bands. Never per pupil, never per module.

  • Honest about what’s next

    Our roadmap is public. We tell you what isn’t built yet, before you find out.
