What schools ask

What independent schools ask about

  • CAPS and IEB

    Built
    The assessment programme, the mark schedule and the term report follow the school's curriculum and its own weightings.

  • Contributions never shown as owing

    Built
    A voluntary contribution is shown as optional and never appears in the family's balance.

  • The school's own page

    Built
    A page at name.slooch.app or on the school's own domain, with its notices and term dates.

  • A full website

    Planned
    Slooch services will build the full website on the school's own domain.

Step 2

One grade or one part

A pilot runs for one term with one grade, on the package the school is considering.
The school portal's admissions screen listing applicants by stage

Step 3

The lists come across

Learner, family and staff lists come from an SA-SAMS export or a spreadsheet, and the office checks them.

Step 4

The rest of the school

The school adds grades and parts when the office is ready.

Questions

Questions schools ask

Which package should an independent school start with?

It depends on who is ready first. A school replacing WhatsApp groups and paper slips starts with Connect; a school whose bursar is ready first starts with Office. The walkthrough is where we work it out together.

Can we keep our accounting package?

Yes. Slooch sends charges and payments to the school's Xero books, and the books stay there.

Does Slooch work for both CAPS and IEB?

Yes. The assessment programme, the weightings and the term report follow the school's curriculum.
