Activities Management
SchoolsBuddy helps organise activity programmes from sign up, to allocation, communication and management with an intelligent preference based system.
Save time, paper & headaches with SchoolsBuddy’s Activities Management module.
Complex and varied after school club and ECA programmes can be quickly and easily set up within SchoolsBuddy, with preference based sign ups and auto-allocation in seconds. Once allocated, student and parent calendars are auto-filled with their activities and attendance registers are auto-generated for staff to record attendance.

Enrichment programmes can be administered with sign up and allocation.
Parents can pay for club or activity fees through SchoolsBuddy.
Communicate with the whole school or just a group based on their club or activity.
