A SchoolDeck demo takes about forty minutes and is run against your own report card format, fee structure and timetable rather than a sample school. Bring those three documents and you will see whether the system fits before any commercial conversation.
A demo is not required to see pricing. The rate card and volume bands are published, so you can size the cost before booking anything.
Most software demos are a tour of menus. That tells you what exists and nothing about whether it fits, which is the only question that matters — and the one that decides whether a school is still using the system in November.
So bring your documents. We would rather find out in the demo that your report card has a component we cannot reproduce cleanly than find out in February.
Three documents. Nothing needs to be prepared or cleaned up first.
If you also have a list of the things that break in your current system, bring that. It is usually a more useful agenda than ours.
Where SchoolDeck is not the right answer. If you need a learning management system in the same product, if you have in-house IT who want to hold the deployment, or if your school is under about two hundred students and genuinely well served by spreadsheets, we will say so.
The follow-up summary states anything from the demo that did not fit, in writing. A vendor who cannot name a limitation has either not understood your school or is not telling you.
In order. Each step assumes the one before it is finished.
Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.
No. The rate card and the volume bands are published, so you can size the cost yourself before speaking to anyone.
About forty minutes. Longer if your fee structure is complicated, which is usually the part worth spending the time on.
Only the three documents you send, only to configure the demo, and it is deleted afterwards unless you go ahead. Send redacted versions if you prefer — the structure matters, the names do not.
A written summary including anything that did not fit, an indicative cost at your enrolment, and what migration would involve. No obligation and no follow-up sequence.
Checked by the Implementations desk on 1 September 2026. Corrections go in the page, dated, rather than quietly.
Pricing is on the page, in the open, with the counting rule written next to it. Nobody has to book a call to find out what it costs.
