Slooch runs the whole school on one app.

Notices, forms, fees, the register and marks, for the office, the teachers and every family. Made in Cape Town for South African schools, Grade R to 12.

Slooch is taking on its first schools for Term 1, 2027.

Monday at most schools

The register is on paper until break. The marks are in a teacher's spreadsheet, the fees in the bursar's accounting package. Friday's consent forms sit in a pile on the counter, and the reminder went to 180 parents when eleven needed it.

Everyone works hard. Each person holds a different piece of the same week, and the office joins the pieces back together.

Who has read it, who has signed it, who has paid it.

A trip notice goes out once, with the consent form and the charge attached. The office watches three lists shrink.

How the office sees it

  • Read

    Every notice shows which families have opened it, and whether it went to the school, a grade or one family.

  • Signed

    The consent form stays on a parent's list until it is signed, and the reminder goes only to those who have not.

  • Paid

    A payment shows as paid once it has arrived and been matched to its charge, so the bursar sees what is still owed.

Enter it once. Everyone it concerns sees it.

  1. Step 1: Someone at the school enters it once.

    Ms Dlamini takes the 8B register on her phone, and the office sends the trip notice.

  2. Step 2: Slooch shows each person their part.

    The parent sees the absence, the family sees the trip form and charge, and the teacher sees who has handed in.

  3. Step 3: Slooch keeps the list until it is done.

    The office sees what is still outstanding without phoning anyone.

What a school of 600 learners could get back.

    How partners work with Slooch

Everything the office, the teachers and the families do in a term.

  • Sends notices to the school, a grade, a class or one family, and shows who has read them.
  • Attaches a consent form and a charge to a notice, and reminds only those who have not signed or paid.
  • Keeps every family's statement: what is owed, what is paid and which charge each payment covered.
  • Takes the register on the teacher's phone, and lets a parent explain an absence the same day.
  • Lets teachers photograph paper tests and suggests marks; the teacher corrects and releases them.
  • Puts released marks on the learner's phone, sends the parent a private update and fills the mark schedule.

  1. Step 1: A 45-minute walkthrough

    We show your principal, a teacher and the office a typical week.

  2. Step 2: Your lists and rules

    Lists come from SA-SAMS or a spreadsheet, then your terms and bell times go in.

  3. Step 3: One grade live for a term

    One grade uses Slooch for a term; everything else stays as it is.

  4. Step 4: You decide

    Continue, add a grade at a time, or stop and take your data with you.

The school stays in charge of its data.

Under POPIA the school is the responsible party and Slooch is its operator.

  • The school is the responsible party

    The school decides what is collected and why; Slooch acts on its instructions.

  • An operator agreement first

    The school signs it before any learner or family information is loaded.

    Read the operator agreement summary
  • South African hosting

    Live schools are hosted in South Africa.

  • No AI training on learner information

    A named person at the school approves anything Slooch suggests.
