We have all kinds of families at our school as I imagine most schools around the world do. In 2025, in Education (and most other sectors) diversity and inclusion are highly valued, all families deserve to be represented. Same gender families and b...
Filter Types of Teaching Groups in Contact Pupils Teachers
I've categorised this under Student Manager, but this is to do with the Contact Pupils' Teachers feature on the Wizard Bar under the Student Manager heading. By default, we have the Send to all of this Pupil's Teachers option selected under Recipi...
We have more situations where students have two parents of the same sex. Currently the only function within the Student Manager/Contacts and Family Tree is to have a mother and a father. It would be excellent if this could be made changeable to se...
As general good practice for GDPR, staff should only see the pupil data that they need to see. It would be nice if we could restrict access to pupil data by division. For example, a teacher who only teaches in the sixth form does not need to see p...

Currently every member of staff with the permissions enabled on School Spider can send a message to parents/carers. There are three admin members of staff with the permissions enabled, alongside SLT. I would like the functionality to add the requi...
Calendar - return to date for date the event was added for.
When a calendar item is added and saved on either the staff or website calendar, the page defaults back to the current date on the calendar (today). It would be helpful and reassuring for the screen to default to the date that the calendar item wa...
It would be helpful for the child's class to be displayed on the 'absence request' screen, alongside the child's name, parents name and reason for absence. This data is fed through from Wonde, so I assume that it would be easy to display.
