We would like to be able to set a group up for only governors. It is not suitable that they are on the staff group and recieve the staff emails. Before the upgrate these were a group on their own.

I can see that permissions can be granted but if someone is to be given addresses then they have to be given other information such as salary which isn't appropriate. This is for our Head's PA so it would be very useful for her to be able to acces...

As a school, we used to be able to send text messages to external bodies using their mobile phone number, without them being on our system. Eg. we have prospective parents who want to visit the school, we do block bookings and send a reminder text...

On the previous version, we could print letters for parents not on email (we have a small number of parents with no email/access to smart phones) This has gone from the new system - please bring it back. All we can do now is print the letter then ...
