Pupil information is spread across the MIS, spreadsheets and shared drives.
One record per pupil.
Progress, evidence and SEND records kept together on the pupil’s record, so nobody rebuilds the picture before a meeting.
School software development: School software that staff, parents and leaders all trust.
We built E2P+SEND, a school platform used by 352 UK schools, with around 700,000 staff, parents and students on it. If your school or trust needs software built around how it works, we know the ground.
What outsiders miss about school software
One record, five audiences: teachers, SEND staff, parents, leaders and inspectors all read it differently.
A school record is written by teachers in spare minutes and read by people who need very different things from it. Parents want to see their own child. Leaders want the picture across classes and schools. SEND staff need plans and reviews in the same place.
Get the permissions wrong and you either hide what people need or show what they must not see. In E2P+SEND, each role saw only its part of each child’s record, and sensitive data was encrypted.
You’re probably here because…
The problems businesses in this industry bring to us most.
Parents ring and email because they can’t see what is happening.
Parent access that families use.
Parents see their own child’s progress. E2P+SEND had parents, staff and students on the same platform.
Trust leaders can’t compare schools without asking each one for a spreadsheet.
Reporting across schools.
Each school works in its own space, and leaders see the combined picture with the same definitions everywhere.
You hold children’s SEND and medical data.
Access-controlled and encrypted.
Role-based access enforced in the data layer, encryption and audit trails, and a Data Processing Agreement for the data we handle.
What we build
Software for schools, multi-academy trusts and the companies that serve them.
Pupil progress and records
Progress, evidence and notes per pupil, class and school.
E2P+SEND: 100,000+ students.
Parent portals
Parents see their own child’s record and updates, without another app nobody opens.
SEND records
Support plans, reviews and evidence kept with the pupil’s progress.
Trust-wide reporting
One view across schools for leaders and governors.
Data protection by design
Role-based access, encryption and audit trails for children’s data under UK GDPR.
Education platforms we built
Numbers are as reported by the clients. We say plainly which ones we still work with.
E2P+SEND
Schools track what each child learns from early years through primary, with observations, photos and SEND records that staff and parents can both see.

How a build runs
The same steps on every project. You approve designs before we write code.
- Day 1
A 30-minute call
Bring the problem and how you handle it today. We ask questions and tell you honestly what we would build first. We won’t pitch at you.
- Next
Written proposal and fixed quote
What is in scope, what goes on the backlog, the stack we’d use and why, the timeline and one price.
- Week 1
Onboarding
A kick-off meeting, a shared Slack channel and access to the repository. Rehan is your day-to-day contact.
- Design
Designs you approve
We design the main screens and journeys first. Nothing gets coded until you have signed the designs off.
- Build
Architecture first, then code
We agree the architecture before writing code, then build with updates twice a week on Slack. Any new request is logged as extra hours and reported weekly.
- Launch
Live, handed over, supported
Deployed to production with your Git repositories and documentation handed over. Bug fixes are free for the first two months.
What it costs
It depends on scope, so we do not publish a price list. Every project is a fixed quote, in writing, after a 30-minute call.
A focused first buildFixed quoteA tightly scoped build with one core workflow, quoted after a 30-minute call.
A full projectFixed quoteSeveral user roles, integrations and reporting, scoped in writing before work starts.
MaintenanceMonthly planBug fixes, updates and monitoring once the free period ends. Scoped to your software on the call.
Included as standard
- UI/UX design, approved before any code
- Two-factor login and OWASP Top 10 security practices
- Deployment to production
- Git repositories and written documentation
- Two months of free bug fixes after launch
Not included
- Payment gateways and other premium integrations, quoted separately
- Graphic design, video and animation
- Features added mid-build, logged as extra hours
After the free two months, monthly maintenance is available. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can add a dedicated engineer. Book a call and we will price both.
Are we the right team for you?
We’re a good fit if
- You are a school, a multi-academy trust or a company selling to schools
- Staff, parents and leaders need different views of the same records
- You hold sensitive data about children
- Someone on your side can test builds with real staff each week
We’re probably not if
- Requests for new features get reported as bugs so they don’t count as scope
- You mainly need graphic design, video or animation
- You want the lowest price above all else, rather than software that lasts
CLIENT RESULTS
358 reviews. 5.0 average.
Platform-level reviews of the agency, not cherry-picked project comments.
What I love about Team7 is that they always say: No worries, we can find a solution. This is the mindset of builders, creators, people who do not have fear, the partner you need if you want to excel.
Working with Mo and his team over the past year has been nothing short of exceptional. I was admittedly sceptical about investing such a large amount, but results exceeded every expectation.
Their responsiveness and willingness to take on our challenging task were impressive.
They are amazing and consistently exceed expectations. They go above and beyond what is asked of them and their communication is top notch, so much so that we joke that they never sleep. The best of the best.
Common questions
Straight answers on experience, cost and how we work.
Ask us something elseHave you built software for secondary schools?
Not yet. E2P+SEND covered early years through primary. Secondary schools bring needs it did not cover, such as timetables and exams, so on a secondary project we would spend the first weeks learning how your school runs, and we would tell you that upfront.
Is E2P+SEND still a client?
No. The business was sold by our client, so we no longer work on it. It was used by 352 UK schools, with around 700,000 staff, parents and students on the system.
Can it work with our MIS?
It depends on what your MIS allows. We ask which one you use and what access it gives before we quote, and if the data can only come out as exports, we design around that rather than promise a live connection.
How do you handle security?
Every build follows the OWASP Top 10, with encryption for sensitive data and two-factor login included as standard. We have built systems that follow GDPR and HIPAA data-handling rules. We hold no security certifications, and we will say so if an auditor asks.
How much does school software cost?
You get a fixed quote after a 30-minute call, once we have seen what you need. For typical market ranges by region, see our web application cost guide.
What happens after launch?
Bug fixes are free for two months. After that, monthly maintenance is available. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can add a dedicated engineer. We price both on a call.
Who owns the code?
You do. At handover you get the Git repositories and written documentation. There is nothing tying the software back to us, so you can take it to an in-house team whenever you like.
Who will I talk to, and how often?
Rehan, one of our two founders, is your day-to-day contact. You get updates on Slack twice a week and can see the code in your repository at any time. We split working hours between us to cover US, UK and Australian time zones, and we usually reply within an hour, sometimes the next morning.
