School management software for primary schools

A primary school's day is built around class teachers, daily attendance, regular communication with parents and a term-end report card the family can be proud of. Edura is a cloud-based platform that handles those well — and stays out of the way the rest of the time.

What primary schools are trying to solve

The realities of running a class-teacher-led school.

Daily attendance

Quick, accurate marking — and parents alerted when their child is absent, without staff having to call every home.

Teacher–parent communication

A reliable channel for class news, reminders and notifications that does not depend on individual WhatsApp groups.

Term report cards

Mid-term progress reports and end-of-term report cards that look professional and go out on time.

Parent engagement

Parents who can see attendance, results and fees in one place stay engaged without overwhelming the office.

Fee tracking

Clear balances and receipts so the bursar always knows who has paid, with as little chasing as possible.

Modern, accessible records

One place to look up any child, any class, any term — accessible from a phone or laptop.
