FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to the questions schools ask before signing up.
Is the free trial really 21 days?
Yes. Your 21-day free trial starts as soon as your registration is approved. After that you can continue with a School Membership — the price is shown on the pricing page and during sign-up.
Who can register a school?
Only the Principal, Bursar or SGB Chairperson can request access for a school.
Why do you use WhatsApp, and can I opt out?
Schools still sign up with email. WhatsApp is only used after you opt in, because busy school offices read it far sooner than email. Reply STOP at any time to opt out.
Is our school's data shown on the League Table?
Only if you opt in. The Cost League Table is visible to logged-in members only, and schools must give permission to be included.
