Where modern classrooms thrive.

Loudwater is a school management information system (MIS) that brings student records, attendance, timetables, teaching and school administration together. Your team can work from shared information throughout the school day, with fewer separate tools to manage. It is built for state schools, academies, independent schools and international schools.

Yes. Our CSV templates help you bring across records such as students, staff, contacts, classes and applicants. Self-service imports are free, and assisted migration is available if you would like help. We can talk through the data you want to move, how it maps to Loudwater and what your team needs to check before getting started.

Loudwater includes tools for School Census and Workforce Census preparation, with student and staff fields based on the Department for Education's Common Basic Data Set (CBDS). Your team can check records and review returns before submission. Schools that do not need these returns can focus on the information relevant to them.

Staff can take AM/PM and lesson registers, and record attendance for detentions and exams. Attendance views show statutory AM/PM attendance alongside an overall picture, with filters to explore each source. Registration codes follow the system selected in your school settings.

We use encryption, role-based access and audit records for sensitive operations to help protect school data. Your school controls who can access its records. We can provide our data-processing terms and explain hosting, retention and security arrangements so your team can review them before getting started.

Ask AI to find records, summarise student or class information, or prepare a supported register action. Searches respect your permissions, and you can review summaries alongside the records behind them. When an action needs your approval, Loudwater shows the proposed change and asks you to confirm before applying it. Your staff stay in control.

Yes. Trusts, federations and school groups can manage multiple schools together, with shared resources, cross-school reporting and centralised billing. Each school keeps its own records and staff permissions, while authorised colleagues can work across the schools they support.

Teachers can plan for their teaching groups, link lessons to curriculum objectives and organise related plans into units. They can also copy and adapt plans and add reflections after teaching. You can use your school's own curriculum objectives, and lesson planning still works if you do not use a preloaded framework.

Support plans, safeguarding concerns, medical information and pastoral records sit alongside the student record. Role-based access helps the right staff find the information they need while keeping sensitive details restricted. This gives teaching and support teams useful context without sharing every record with everyone.

You set up your school, assign staff access and import your records using our templates. The time needed depends on your data, the areas you want to set up and the number of schools involved. We can help you plan the move and choose a rollout that works around your school calendar.

Loudwater costs £3 per pupil per year when billed annually, or £0.30 per pupil per month. The subscription includes the full platform. Self-service CSV imports are free; optional services such as assisted migration, onsite training and SMS credits cost extra. You can book a personalised demonstration to see how Loudwater would work for your school.
