SchoolDeck runs online school admissions end to end: an application form parents complete from a phone, document upload and verification, entrance or interaction scheduling, seat offers with acceptance deadlines, fee payment, and conversion to a student record carrying the admission number forward.
It does not decide admissions. Selection criteria, quotas and RTE allocation remain the school’s decisions; the system records and enforces what you set.
Admission season is a write-heavy month where fifty people type at once and every one of them is under pressure. It is also the month that determines whether the rest of the year is calm, because a student admitted with a misspelled name or a missing date of birth carries that error to the transfer certificate.
Every error caught at the counter costs minutes; the same error caught at the transfer certificate costs a reissue and an argument. The fields worth validating hard, at entry:
Most schools cannot say which of their channels produces admissions, because enquiries arrive on three phone numbers and get written in whichever register is nearest. The answer is usually assumed to be the hoardings, and is usually word of mouth.
Recording the source at first contact, on one enquiry record, is what makes the following year’s spend defensible. It costs the front office one extra field.
Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.
Yes. The form is mobile-first and resumable, so an application started at the counter can be finished at home, and documents can be photographed rather than scanned.
Yes. RTE applicants are flagged at application and carry that status onto the student record, where their entitlement is tracked per fee head and the state reimbursement is recorded as a receivable rather than a discount.
The application becomes a student record with the admission number allotted, and everything already captured — name, date of birth, guardians, documents — carries across without being typed again.
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.
