Seven offices. Everyone signs in to their own.

The bursar sees the fees, not the mark sheets. The librarian sees the shelves, not the payroll. The head teacher sees all of it, on one page, with the approvals that are waiting.

Every school starts with the Academic Office. The Bursar's Office, the Gate, Stores, the Library and Payroll are switched on one at a time, when the school is ready for them, and a member of staff is never shown a screen that is not theirs.
