Built for the schools we know.

Clarvyn is made by Roamlabs Technologies. It exists because the software a school can normally buy was written for a different kind of school: one with an IT department, a stable connection, and a fee structure that does not change every term.

So it is built around the three people who actually use it.

In the office

The bursar needs to know who has paid.

That should be a screen, not an afternoon with the ledger. The arrears list is the fee book already added up, longest-owing first, and a payment is taken from the same row it is owed on.

In the classroom

The teacher marks the register between lessons.

On a phone, without going to find the book first. Each child is a tap, the register is in the console before the next lesson starts, and it adds up to a term without anyone retyping it.

At home

The parent would rather open an app than ring the office.

And now does not have to. Attendance, results, fees and photos are in the app the evening they happen. The next school is on Explore, and other parents are on the forum.

The teacher app

Today
Your lessons today, the register still to be taken, and a tap to mark yourself in.
Classes
Every class you teach, or are class teacher of. The office sets which.
The register
Each child a tap, Present or Absent. A mark waits on the phone until it has reached the school.
Class work and marks
Set a piece of work, then mark it on a sheet, child by child, out of its maximum.
Students
The roll, searched by name or admission number.
Timetable
Your own week, lesson by lesson.
Calendar
Term dates, and the days the school is closed.
Kitchen
This week's menu, as the office has set it.
Notices
What the school has posted, as the parents see it.
My attendance
Your own register: present, late, absent or excused, and marking yourself in.
Profile
Your record as the school holds it. Payslips stay on the console, not on a shared handset.
Sync
What has reached the school and what is still on the phone, with the reason when something could not.
Help
The guides and what's new, inside the app.

The parent app

Sign in by phone
Your number and a code by text. No password and no school code; the school's record of your number is the link to your child.
Your wards
One card per child: school and class, days present, whether fees are settled, and today's gate record.
Needs a look
In the Android app: one card naming one child and one reason, such as a subject falling since last term.
Attendance
The last four school weeks, day by day: present, late or absent. A day nobody marked is left empty.
Work
Everything the child has been set, most recent first, and how the term is trending subject by subject.
Fees
Each invoice with its balance and every payment. Pay online where the school takes it, or the school's own accounts to pay directly. A receipt by text when it settles.
Health
What the school wrote down, and the instruction beside it. A medicine you register, and where it stands.
Photos
Every photograph the school has tagged your child in, newest first.
Menu
This week's meals, when the kitchen has published them.
School
The school's own pages, its term dates and closures, what the level is taught, and the admission checklist.
The gate
Today's drop-off and pick-up, and every gate event the school has recorded for the child.
Shop
What the school sells, ordered online and handed over at the office.
Inbox
A question to the school office, answered there.
Explore
Every school that chose to be listed. Reading needs no account.
Forum
One board under real names. Anyone can read; signed-in parents post.
App lock
In the Android app: a PIN before the app shows your children, for a shared handset.

What Clarvyn is not.

We are deliberately not a marketplace, a payment processor, or a learning platform. Clarvyn runs the administration of a school and gets out of the way.

Built for a school like yours.

Tell us how yours runs. We will show you where Clarvyn fits, and where it does not.
