What School Vault does
School Vault brings every part of your school into one place, from the moment a parent drops their child off in the morning to the moment fees clear in your bank account at end of term. It handles:
- Attendance, manual, QR code, and bulk methods, with analytics and the fire register
- Daily reports, meals, naps, activities, behaviour, photos, and wellness entries
- Health & safeguarding, medical records, incidents, authorised pickups
- Curriculum & assessment, 10 frameworks from EYFS to NERDC, with observations, Learning Journals, and PDF portfolios
- Primary academics, mark entry, report cards, timetables, homework, and CBT
- Fees & finance, fee templates, bulk billing, dedicated virtual accounts via Paystack
- Communication, SMS, WhatsApp, and in-app messaging to parents and guardians
- Parent portal, a dedicated view for families to follow their child's day

What School Vault is NOT
A few things School Vault deliberately does not try to be:
- It is not a standalone website builder for your school, it is an internal operations platform
- It is not a generic SaaS tool adapted for schools, every feature is purpose-built for early-years and primary education
- It does not require a developer to set up, a confident non-technical admin can complete the full setup in under an hour using the checklist in article 1.2
How this Academy works
The Academy is organised into nine tracks. Each track covers a distinct area of the platform. Articles within a track build on each other, so reading them in order is the fastest path to competence. Every article ends with a list of related articles for deeper reading.
