When did you start using Involve Education?

"We came across the website at the end of 2022 and thought it looked great. Amanda gave us a demo and then we were set up and running by April 2023."

What is something you couldn't do before, but thanks to Involve Education you can do now?

"Track attendance in music lessons and minimise ‘lost child’ alerts! Several times, when a child has been missing from class. Involve allows attendance staff to see straight away if pupils are in a music lesson and either cancel the alert, or escalate it immediately."

What's your favourite feature and why?

"The daily email to staff letting them know who will be missing from their classrooms and when."

What effect has Involve had on your music department staff?

"My time on lesson admin has diminished considerably"

How have you found working with the team at Involve?

"My initial meeting with the team was really positive, and the rare occasions when I have had technical queries have resulted in a rapid and positive response."
