Every signal on every pupil — on one compass.
Pupil Compass brings attendance, behaviour, suspensions, SEND, safeguarding flags and intervention history together half-termly. Governors get publication-ready reports. SLT get the heatmap. Tutors only see their tutor group. No more three-spreadsheet review meetings.
Pupil Premium reviews are run from a dozen spreadsheets.
- —Attendance is in the MIS. Behaviour is in another export. Suspensions are in a PDF.
- —SEN provision sits in a Word document the SENCO keeps locally.
- —Governors want one report. The PP lead spends three evenings building it.
- —Half-termly trends are invisible — you're always reacting, never forecasting.
One source of truth. A different lens for every audience.
- Twice-daily Bromcom sync — statutory attendance, behaviour events mapped to your school's policy, suspensions, rewards.
- RAG-rated heatmap with half-termly trend arrows on every metric.
- Role-scoped views: tutors see only their tutor group; SLT see the whole school.
- Governor and KS3 subject reports generated as branded Word documents in under 10 seconds.
Give leadership time back to leading.
Pupil Compass does the data-gathering, reconciliation and drafting that eats your evenings — so the half-termly review is a conversation, not a spreadsheet hunt.
AI-drafted governor and KS3 subject reports save a DHT or AHT roughly a day each half-term — about £1,800 a year in reclaimed leadership time.
Twice-daily Bromcom sync pulls attendance, behaviour, suspensions, rewards, homework, timetables and cover automatically — no re-keying.
The joined-up pupil record replaces the multi-spreadsheet review meeting — attendance, behaviour, SEND, safeguarding and interventions in one place.
Roughly two pupils' worth of pupil-premium funding covers the whole school. Flat per-school pricing means growing schools aren't penalised.
A serious internal tool — not a pretty wrapper.
Every feature below is in the live product today. Nothing on this page is a roadmap promise.
Whole-school dashboard
Live tiles for attendance, persistent absence, suspensions and key behaviour indicators — click any tile to drill into the affected pupils.
RAG heatmap
Every PP and vulnerable pupil on a single screen with trend arrows on every metric. Filter by PP, SEN, PP & SEN, and social-care involvement.

Interventions catalogue
EEF-aligned interventions, daily spreadsheet sync and the school's own mental-health support map, with named-adult assignments.

Quick-review dialog auto-populates pupil context; actions are owned, dated, and closed with an outcome note.

Behaviour, Attendance and KS3 subject analysis as branded .docx with embedded charts, narrative and redacted top-10 lists.

Per-school row-level security, active-school switching and MAT-ready pricing — every row carries its school, enforced at the database.
Built for every audience in the room.

Syncs with Bromcom. Sits alongside Arbor and SIMS.
Pupil Compass complements rather than replaces your MIS. Bromcom remains the source of truth for attendance and behaviour — Pupil Compass adds the joined-up pupil view none of them give on their own. It works the same way whether your school runs Bromcom, Arbor or SIMS.
- Direct, twice-daily (9am & 4.30pm) Bromcom sync of attendance, behaviour, suspensions, rewards, homework/equipment, timetables and cover.
- Attendance calculated using DfE statutory AM/PM sessions only — the figures the DfE would use.
- Cover automatically detected from the Bromcom timetable feed; covered classes appear under the covering teacher's My Classes for the day.
- Your MIS keeps doing its job; Pupil Compass joins the picture rather than duplicating it.
Every pupil. One screen. Every signal.
RAG-rated columns for attendance, behaviour indicators, suspensions and any pastoral metric your school tracks — with half-termly trend arrows on each.

A pack-ready Word document. In one click.
Three flagship reports — Behaviour, Attendance and KS3 subject analysis — generated as branded .docx with embedded charts, narrative sections and demographic breakdowns. Pupil names are redacted to initials (e.g. 7MD for Mila Davies, Year 7) on every Top-10 list.

- Persistent absence and severe absence counters, banded distribution
- Date-range parameters for ad-hoc reviews
- Same source of truth as the dashboard — zero reconciliation
Built like the safeguarding tool it is.
Row-level security in the database — a tutor's request for a pupil outside their group never returns a row, regardless of what the UI does.
11+ distinct roles from Tutor up to DSL and Headteacher, each with explicit sensitive-data gates.
Data resides in EU/UK regions, encrypted at rest and in transit.
Every view, edit and action recorded with actor and timestamp.
Admins invite by email; no public sign-up.
Staff sign in with their school accounts; access is limited by role.
Governor reports use initials-and-year format (e.g. 7MD) by default.
Your pupils' data is yours. We do not train models on it. We do not share it.
Clear disclaimer throughout — never replaces professional judgement or statutory duties.
£2,500 per school, per year.
One flat annual licence for a standard secondary. Unlimited staff seats, Bromcom-synced daily, governor reports included. No per-pupil premium — growing schools and MATs aren't penalised for scale.
