Effective and automated communication for schools, colleges and universities
SMS streamlines communication, supports learning and saves time. Our SMS solutions for schools, colleges and universities help to keep parents, staff and students up-to-date with everything from event reminders to closure alerts so your organisation can run smoothly.
Trusted by leading education services brands to deliver powerful SMS communications
Education leaders need a direct line of communication with parents, staff and students to inform them of any disruptions like timetable changes, closures or to provide updates on sporting fixtures or pastoral care.
Our SMS solutions are fast and secure, and messages can be sent in bulk or to specific groups. With an open rate nearing 100% schools can maintain their duty of care by sharing important information about attendance, policies or school trips and prevent miscommunication by enabling two-way conversation.
