School portal for Nigerian schools · Nursery to Secondary

Results, fees and attendance — off WhatsApp and Excel, into one portal.

Pulse School gives your school a proper website and a secure portal for proprietors, teachers, bursars, parents and students. Report cards print in your own template, parents get an email the same morning their child is absent, and you can see who has paid without asking the bursar.

Sound familiar?

The end of every term looks the same.

None of this is a people problem. It's what happens when a school runs on paper, Excel and WhatsApp groups.

Report cards take a whole week

Teachers type scores into Excel, someone recalculates averages and positions, and cards are printed, signed and stamped late into the night — then a mistake means doing it again.

"Has my child's result come out?"

The office phone rings all day. Parents in Lagos traffic or abroad can't come in to collect a paper card, and lost cards mean reprints.

Nobody knows exactly who owes what

Fees come in by cash, POS and transfer. The bursar's notebook, the bank alert and the proprietor's figure rarely agree, and debtors are chased by memory.

Absent children go unnoticed

A child misses school and the parent finds out days later — if at all. Registers sit in a drawer and nobody adds up attendance until the report card.

Admissions on paper forms

Forms get lost, application fees are hard to track, and you can't tell how many families are still waiting to hear from you.

Everything lives in one person's head

When the admin officer travels or leaves, so do the records. There's no single place the proprietor can open and see the school.

What you get

One portal, five kinds of login, every term covered.

Everything below is built and working today — you can click through all of it in the live demo.

📝

Results & report cards

Teachers enter CA and exam scores once. Totals, grades, class average and position calculate themselves. Comments, traits and promotion, then publish to parents with one click. PDF and print.

🎨

Your own report card template

Send us your current card and we match it — your columns, your remarks, your colours, signature and stamp. Different templates for nursery and primary? That's fine too.

✅

Daily attendance with same-day alerts

Class teachers mark the register on a phone in two minutes. Parents get an email the same morning their child is absent. Term totals flow straight onto the report card.

💳

Fees, invoices & debtors

Set fees per class, invoice the whole school in one click, record cash, POS and transfers with receipts. Parents upload transfer proof; the bursar confirms. Debtors list and reminders.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parent portal

Parents sign in to see every child's report cards, attendance, fees and receipts, assignments and notices. Optional: hold report cards until fees are cleared.

📥

Online admissions

A full application form on your website with photo and document uploads and an application fee. Track every applicant, then admit with one click — the pupil and parent accounts are created for you.

🎓

Student portal for secondary

Students sign in with their admission number — no phone or email needed. Classwork with online submission, timetables, exam slips and fee clearance, notices and clubs.

🖥️

CBT practice & tests

Teachers build a question bank and set timed tests. Questions are shuffled, answers save as students go, leaving the page is logged, and weak topics show up per student.

🌐

A proper school website

Homepage slider, about, academics, news, gallery and contact — on your own domain, edited by you from the admin, looking like your school, not a template.

The part proprietors care about most

Your report card, not ours.

Parents know your card. We rebuild it in the portal — then the system fills it in. Three layouts ready to go:

Straight answers

What Pulse School does not do (yet)

  • No SMS or WhatsApp alerts yet. Absence alerts and notifications go by email today. Text alerts are next on the list, with message units billed at cost.
  • It's not your accounts package. It tracks fees billed, paid and owed — not salaries, payroll or the school's general expenses.
  • No app-store app. It runs in any phone browser and can be saved to the home screen, so parents don't install anything.
  • It needs your own hosting and domain (usually ₦15,000–₦40,000 a year, paid to the host). We can arrange them for you.

FAQ

Can you match our existing report card exactly?

Yes — that's part of the set-up. Send a photo or scan of your current card and we rebuild it: your columns, remarks, rating scales, colours, signature and stamp. Schools with different cards for nursery and primary get both, and each class uses the right one automatically.

Our teachers aren't very technical. Will they cope?

Teachers do three things: mark the register, type scores into a sheet that looks like Excel, and add comments. It works on a phone. We train them, and the class teacher only ever sees their own class.

Who owns our data? What if we stop using it?

Your data is yours and sits on your school's own hosting. If you ever leave, we hand over a full copy of your database along with Excel exports of pupils, results and payments. Nothing is held back.

Is pupils' information safe?

Every person has their own login and sees only what their role allows. Passwords are strongly encrypted, two-step login is available for staff, pupil photos and documents are never public, and a security log records who changed what.

Do parent payments go to you?

No. Parents pay into your school's bank account as they do today and upload the proof, which your bursar confirms. If you want card payments, Paystack pays directly into your account — we never handle school fees.

We are a secondary school. Is this for us?

Yes. The Premium package adds the student portal: students sign in with their admission number, submit classwork online, see timetables and exam slips, and take CBT practice and tests your teachers set. It's switched off for nursery and primary schools.

What does the termly fee cover?

Keeping the portal secure and up to date, backups, new features as they're released, fixes, and help for your staff when they're stuck. You install updates with one click and can undo them.

How long does set-up take?

About two weeks from receiving your logo, class list and pupil/parent spreadsheet. We aim to have you live before your next result release.

Can we see it before paying anything?

Yes. Open the live demo above — no sign-up — or book a 20-minute demo and we'll walk you through it with your own questions.
