A primary school with its playground markings and playing field
For primary schools

The whole school on one screen.

From the morning register to the school gate, GroupEd keeps a busy primary running — reception, attendance, behaviour, comms and safety in one place.

Built for how primary schools run.

A busy primary has a hundred things happening at once. GroupEd keeps them in one calm, connected place.

One system, one login

Reception, registers, comms and planning without juggling five different tools.

Ready at 8:59

Fast, reliable registration first thing — even when the broadband has other ideas.

Parents in the loop

Messages, absences and updates in one app — in Welsh and English.

Safe and accounted for

Sign-in, evacuation and lockdown built in — ready for Martyn’s Law.

One platform. Everything a primary needs.

Start with one product or take the lot — they all share the same data from day one.

See the whole child.

If you currently need three tabs to work out why Tom in Year 4 is struggling, your system is doing it wrong.

In GroupEd, every pupil has one page that tells the whole story. Attendance trends. Behaviour points. Safeguarding flags. Latest assessment. Wellbeing check-ins. Who in the house was contacted, and when. Recent classwork. Trip consent. Allergens. The lot.

Heads call it finger-on-the-pulse pupil management. Teachers call it brilliant. Designated safeguarding leads call it the thing they can’t do without.

Testimonials

What schools and parents say.

  • “We looked at several systems and noticed hidden costs for the features we actually needed. OnSite does everything, connects straight to our MIS, and the price is refreshingly straightforward. It’s an impressive system with brilliant support.”
    Barry Island Primary School crest Matt GilbertHeadteacher · Barry Island Primary School
  • “With over 1,200 pupils and staff on site every day, we needed a system we could trust. The MIS integration alone has saved our admin team hours every week.”
    Cwmbran High School crest Cwmbran High SchoolBusiness Manager · Cwmbran, Wales
  • “I have one child in primary and one in secondary. For years I’ve had to connect to 5 different apps to communicate with their schools. How refreshing to no longer worry I’m missing something all the time. Thanks GroupEd!”

OnSite runs standalone — you don’t need any other GroupEd product, and it works with any MIS. Read more about OnSite

When we add features, you get them at no extra cost. There are never any add-ons.

Switching is the bit most schools dread.

We do the heavy lifting.

  1. Discovery call — 20 minutes

    We map your current stack and confirm what GroupEd will and won’t replace. Honest answers either way. No pitch deck.

  2. Migration — handled by us

    We pull your pupils, staff, parents, attendance history and assessments out of your current system. You sign it all off before go-live.

  3. Onboarding — half a day

    Two short live sessions for office and SLT, recorded for staff who can’t make it. No off-site residentials. No three-week boot-camp. Included in the price.

  4. Go-live — at a date you choose

    Most schools move at half-term or at the end of the academic year. Your account manager is on the line from 8am on the day.

GroupEd in a primary, answered.

What it costs, what you have to take, and how a changeover actually works.

What does GroupEd cost for a 200-pupil primary?

On a 200-pupil roll, One — the full MIS — is £1,690 a year (£290 base plus £7 per pupil), and that price includes Classroom, OnSite and the Parent & Carer app at no extra cost. That is about £8.50 per pupil for the whole platform. You can also buy Classroom or OnSite on their own, at £1,190 and £379. All prices +VAT.

Do we have to buy all four products?

No — and if you take One you already have them. One’s price includes Classroom, OnSite and the Parent & Carer app. If you would rather start smaller, Classroom and OnSite each work on their own alongside the MIS you have today, and the Parent & Carer app is free for parents whichever route you take.

Does GroupEd work for a small primary?

Yes — any size. There is no minimum roll, no tier you are too small for, and the price scales with your pupil numbers, so a 60-pupil village school pays a fraction of what a 400-pupil primary does. A small office team is exactly who benefits most from one login instead of four.

Should we switch in the summer, or can we do it mid-year?

Either. Summer is the tidiest, but there is nothing stopping a January or Easter changeover and plenty of primaries do exactly that. Your old system stays on while your team learns on your own data, so there is never a morning where the register is in doubt.

Is the Parent & Carer app really free for parents?

Yes. It is free for every parent and carer at a GroupEd school, with no subscription and no ads. Grandparents and childminders are included too, each with their own login and all reading the same thread, so every adult around a child gets the same information. It comes with the school’s subscription rather than as an extra.

Is GroupEd available in Welsh?

Yes, bilingual as standard at no extra cost. Staff and parents each choose Cymraeg or English for themselves, so a Welsh-medium primary and an English-medium one run the same software with no separate version to buy or maintain.
