5 REASONS EVERY SCHOOL NEEDS A MOBILE APP


Today’s parents engage differently. They expect quick access, clean design, and everything in one place — on their phones. But many schools are still relying on emails, websites, and scattered systems that weren’t built for how families now interact with information.

A dedicated school app isn’t just a nice-to-have anymore — it’s become essential.

#1:  It makes your school look good.

A branded school app isn’t just practical — it’s impressive. It shows parents (and prospective families) that your school is modern, organised, and parent-aware.

#2:  Your parents are on their phones. So your school should be too.

Parents are overwhelmed with emails and scattered updates. A school app brings everything into one place — on the device they check most: their phone.

#3:  Better communication = better engagement

Parents don’t just want information — they want to feel considered. When communication is clear, timely, and easy to access, it tells them their experience matters.

A school app helps deliver that — with updates, reminders, and key info just a tap away, all in a space that feels personal and professional.

#4:  One channel, not five.

No more wondering, “Was that on the website? Facebook? An email?”

A good app centralises your messaging and makes it easy for parents to find what they need, fast.

Schools using School Window have told us that calls to reception drop overnight — parents simply check the app instead. It saves time, reduces frustration, and frees up your team.

#5:  Make sure everyone sees your best content.

Photos, videos, updates — these are the moments that make families feel connected to your school. A school app gives you a space to showcase them beautifully, without relying on email threads or hoping parents see it on social media.

And that matters — because many parents are no longer on social media. With a School Window app, you’re putting your best content in their hands, directly — where they’ll actually see it.
