Some aspects for attendance officer are awkard and don't provide a streamlined work flow. There are compromises that writing back to sims makes editing prior and future marks difficult. Some aspects are revolutionary like seating plans, badges and easy access to points.

Ian Mead found Satchel One:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    Seating plans are easier to administer and more informative
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    Setting and administering detentions is now easier and more transparent.
  • Moderately improves school processes
    Detention systems are more robust and able to provide extra feature like sanction for n offences.
  • Moderately improves parent engagement
    Good ptake form parents in general but some problems getting google classroom assignment to sync has caused some frustrations.

Staff, parents and students are pleased with our expanded use of Satchel One and the benefits of bringing all these systems and processes under one umbrella package. The customer support is also very strong which is important with any IT based system.

Reply from Satchel One:Thank you so much for your positive review of Satchel One! It's fantastic to hear that both staff, parents, and students are reaping the benefits of our integrated system. Your insights on how it significantly reduces teacher workload, improves teaching efficiency, streamlines school processes, and enhances parent engagement are incredibly valuable to us. We are also delighted to know that our customer support is meeting your expectations. We're committed to continuous improvement and your feedback is crucial in that journey.
S Yalden found Satchel One:
  • Significantly reduces teacher workload
    Being able to use one system rather than multiple packages to carry out a range of teacher tasks such as seating plans, rewards, sanctions, messaging, homework, communication with parents etc.
  • Significantly improves teaching efficiency
    By being a one stop shop for registers, conduct and homework it is an efficient use of time rather than using multiple systems. Seeking support to a class is more efficient and timely because of the on alert feature.
  • Significantly improves school processes
    One bringing everything under one system it is easier to achieve consistency and is generally more efficient.
  • Significantly improves parent engagement
    We have seen a rise in parent and carer access to Satchel from 29% when we used is solely for homework to 60% when we added in the additional features improving home-school communication and engagement.
