ShiftLog for schools
A school attendance system that watches the gate, not the register
Pupils scan their face as they arrive. The class register fills itself, parents are notified their child is safe, and the office knows at once if someone is missing. Built for schools everywhere — and it works even when the internet is down.
The register takes itself at the gate
Pupils walk in and look at a wall-mounted tablet — no roll-call, no shouting names, no counterbook to fill in by hand. The daily register for every class is complete by first lesson, and you can pull any day or term in seconds.
Parents know the moment their child arrives
A free notice goes to the guardian the instant a pupil scans in — and again when they leave. In a country where the school run is a daily worry, "your child is safe at school" is the message parents most want, and the reason families choose you.
Be the first to know when a child is missing
If a pupil does not arrive, your office is alerted before the first lesson — not at home time. Duty of care, made real, and a record that stands up when a parent asks.
No photos are ever stored
The camera turns a face into a private mathematical template and deletes the picture immediately. Consent is recorded on a signed form, and the data stays on the school’s own tablet — responsible by design.
Staff and teachers, too
The same terminal clocks in your teachers and support staff, with timesheets, lateness and leave — one system for the whole school, not two.
Priced on your roll, per term
A few cents per pupil, per term, and cheaper per head the bigger the school. No per-tablet charge, unlimited terminals, and a free trial to see it working before you decide.
How pupil attendance works
- 1
Register online and enrol your pupils, class by class — or import a spreadsheet.
- 2
Mount any Android tablet or iPad at the gate and pair it in minutes.
- 3
Capture each pupil’s face once, with consent, at enrolment.
- 4
From then on the gate records arrivals and departures automatically, and the register, parent notices and reports follow on their own.
