Flares for Schools

Run your entire school with Flares.

Teaching, administration, families, payments and productivity — connected, so the same child is one record from the day they apply to the day they graduate.

The whole school, not one corner of it.

Most school software does one job well and leaves the rest to spreadsheets. These are five jobs on one platform, sharing one set of people and one set of files.

Teaching

What a teacher does every day, in one place.

  • — Classes and classwork
  • — Assignments and resources
  • — Submissions
  • — Grading and feedback
  • — Gradebook

Productivity

The tools a school runs on, shared by the whole staff.

  • — Docs
  • — Drive
  • — Calendar
  • — Mail (coming soon)

School operations

The administrative record of the school.

  • — Students and staff
  • — Academic years and terms
  • — Classes and timetables
  • — Admissions
  • — Report cards
  • — Transcripts

Finance

Fees, from the invoice to the receipt.

  • — Fee structures
  • — Invoices
  • — Payments and receipts
  • — What each family owes
  • — Online payment through Flares Pay

Families

What parents can see, without ringing the office.

  • — Family portal
  • — Attendance and reports
  • — Fees and receipts
  • — Documents
  • — Admissions

End to end

One child, one record, from application to report card.

This is the argument for an integrated platform, and it is not abstract: every arrow below is a place where a school currently re-types something.

School administration

One place to run the school itself.

School administrators get a single administrative area for the things that are nobody's favourite job and everybody's problem when they go wrong.

People and accounts

Create staff and student accounts, set roles, hand over passwords.

Security

Password policy, sessions, and a record of administrative actions.

Products and storage

Which products the school uses, and how much Drive storage it has.

Billing

The plan, the seats and the invoices.

The family portal

Your own address, your own crest, your own colour.

Domains

Connect a domain you own, once DNS proves it is yours.

School setup

Academic years, terms, year groups, classes and timetables.
