Having the Groupcall system in place has saved an enormous amount of time that would otherwise have been spent making and fielding calls, because parents have already received a message with the information they need. We’re already identifying other uses for it

For Local Authorities

Unauthorised attendance is a problem for many schools, but often it is considered to be a Secondary School trend. It might surprise you to know that a third of all pupils caught in recent truancy sweeps were of primary school age! This problem is not going away, with the BBC reporting that truancy rates are at their highest since 1997. The National Union of Teachers general secretary Steve Sinnott has said: "Overcoming truancy is a difficult and demanding task requiring teachers and parents to work together.”

Groupcall presents a fantastically affordable tool designed to decrease the levels of unauthorised absenteeism and to improve communication between schools and parents. Groupcall Messenger allows schools to easily and quickly send personalised text messages to parents, staff or other relevant contacts.

Improving Communication

A simple means of communicating with parents, governors and other special interest groups. Cancel meetings, send reminders of parents evening and chase pupil absence quickly and easily. At the same time the system will create a living record of all messages sent with a clear audit trail.

Integrate with Existing Data

Groupcall Messenger uses data that is already held in Integris Classic and IntegrisG2 meaning that there is no need to hold and maintain a separate database of contact details, reducing the administrative burden.

Multi-lingual

Using information already held in Integris Classic or IntegrisG2, communications can be sent in the appropriate mother tongue, ensuring that no child or parent is left out.

Improve Attendance Rates

Groupcall Messenger has been independently proven to reduce unauthorised absence by almost 30% across some Local Authorities!

Low-Cost Option

There is no long term commitment to Groupcall Messenger and it costs as little as £1 per pupil per year.
