Your school systems know where every child is in lessons. The minibus in the morning, prep, after-school clubs and late stay, away matches and trips in between still run on paper lists and walkie-talkies. Ticked Off records every child and every hand-over, two ticks at a time.
Runs in the browser on the computers, tablets and phones you already have. Nothing for parents to install.
Lessons have registers. The minibus, prep, after-school clubs, late pick-up, away matches and trips usually don't, or rely on a list that ends up in the recycling. These are the moments your existing systems don't reach.
The morning run is a driver, a list and a good memory. Parents assume their child arrived unless someone rings.
After an away match some children go home with parents at the ground. Who went with whom is rarely written down.
A child is sent down because someone said a name at the door. Nobody can prove who asked, or who they left with.
Start with the one that causes the most paperwork today. Add the others when you're ready, all running from the same pupil list and the same safeguarding record.
Prep, after-school clubs and late stay, run by the office.
Parents ask for their own child from their phone.
Your car line, run from a phone. Cars queue, children come out in the right order.
Every child ticked on and off, every stop.
Out on the coach, home with a parent or back on the coach.
Head counts that don't depend on a clipboard.
Each service is set up for your school when you choose it, in your school's name, colours and terms.

Every school has its own name for the end of the day. Ticked Off uses yours on every screen parents and staff see, so nobody has to learn new words.
Parents add the people they trust to collect, and say exactly when. The school sees it on the day's list, so nobody is left phoning round.
When the room closes, the children still waiting are handed over formally, not just walked down the corridor.
The teacher closes prep or the club and chooses where the remaining children are going: reception, the front gate or the car pick-up point.
All waiting children are signed over to the late duty device in one step, with a name and time against the handover.
Late parents are checked by code, or on sight by the member of staff on duty, and that choice is recorded too.
Every request, release, code match and handover is time-stamped with the member of staff involved. Your safeguarding lead can look back at any afternoon in seconds.
Ticked Off follows the way schools already manage collection under KCSIE and the EYFS framework, and gives your DSL a record to prove it.
Every school gets a "Collection of Pupils" section to drop into its safeguarding and child protection policy: authorised adults, the two-tick check, late and non-collection, and what to do if the system is down.
Your school is the data controller and we act as your processor under a written data processing agreement. Records are kept for as long as your policy says, and no more.
Our team hold enhanced DBS checks, and we never have unsupervised contact with pupils. Any visit for training or set-up follows your visitor procedure.
Parents, teachers and reception use the phones and tablets they already have, in the browser.
Identity is proved with a family password and a daily code, not by taking pictures of pupils.
Records are stored in a London data centre and handled in line with UK GDPR.
Parents can set alerts for the afternoon, so nobody is left waiting at reception.
Prep, clubs, homework, activities and late stay all use the same two-tick flow.
If a teacher can take a register on a phone, they can run Ticked Off on day one.
Every plan includes the full safeguarding record, staff logins, set-up and training. One monthly price per school, whatever your size. No contract: cancel anytime.
The office runs collection. No parent accounts to set up.
Parents ask for their own child. Saves the office the most time.

The questions heads, bursars and safeguarding leads ask us first, grouped by service. If yours isn't here, ask us in your demo.
Only authorised staff, signed in on school devices. Parents never see a list of children, not even their own child's record. They type their child's name themselves, and it has to match exactly.
Yes, unless you'd rather they couldn't. If your school asks, we lock staff screens to your own school computers. Either way, every member of staff has their own login, set by your admin, and signs in with two-factor authentication every time, using an authenticator app or a sign-in link sent to their email. Every sign-in and sign-out is recorded, and staff are signed out automatically at the end of the school day.
Yes. Every register, request, release, code match and handover is time-stamped with the member of staff involved. Your DSL can look back at any afternoon in seconds.
Records are stored in a London data centre and handled in line with UK GDPR. Your school is the data controller and we are your processor, under a written data processing agreement. That means your school decides how long records are kept, not us. We recommend keeping collection records long term, because a safeguarding question can come up years later.
No. We never take or store pictures of pupils. With Parent Request, the adult collecting proves who they are with the family password and a daily code.
Yes. Everyone at Ticked Off who works with schools holds an enhanced DBS check, and we never have unsupervised contact with pupils. We're happy for your school to verify this through the DBS Update Service before any visit.
Your model collection policy includes a manual fallback, so collection carries on safely using your existing procedure until the system is back.
No. It supports it. Every school gets a model "Collection of Pupils" section to adapt and drop into its own safeguarding and child protection policy.
Parents don't need to install anything. Ticked Off runs in the browser on the phones, tablets and computers you already have. Staff confirm each sign-in with an email link or an authenticator app. If your school would like parents to have the same extra check, we can switch it on for them too.
Book a free demo and we'll build one in your school's name, with your rooms and your words for prep or after-school club. When you're ready, we set up your rooms, staff logins and pupil list for you from a spreadsheet export of your management system, and train your staff.
Yes. Most schools start with Office Request, then add Parent Request, Car Request, Minibus Runs, Away Matches or School Trips when they're ready. Each service is set up for your school when you choose it.
No. Every plan is billed monthly and you can cancel at any time.
Email [email protected]. You'll hear from the people who build and run the system, not a call centre.
When a school stops using Ticked Off, the names and details of its pupils, parents and staff are deleted from our systems.
With Parent Request, three things have to line up. The adult gives the child's name and the family password, which the school gives each family by letter, in person or by email, whichever it prefers. The room releases the child. Then reception checks the three-letter code on the collector's phone before the child leaves. Trusted adults can only be added from the parents' account, using the family password.
A password on its own can't take a child out of school. The room still has to release the child, and reception still has to see the child and match the code on the collector's own phone. Your school decides how passwords reach families: by letter, in person or by email.
A timeline for each of their children, built from checkpoints your staff have confirmed: on the minibus, arrived at school, in prep or club, collected. Parents only see the services your school has switched on.
No. Ticked Off records checkpoints, never a child's location or phone. During a minibus run parents can see where the bus is, and only while the run is under way.
Parents fill in their family's details, but a child is only linked once the school has checked those details against its own records and activated the account.
As cars arrive, the teacher on duty scans each number plate. The rooms are told which children to get ready, in the same order the cars arrived, and each child is ticked into the right car.
Parents add their car details to their family account.
£49 a month for each minibus, with no contract. An optional GPS tracker is £50 a month per minibus.
Parents pay the school directly, through the school's own Stripe account. They can buy a termly pass (return, mornings only or afternoons only) or book single trips.
Yes. Parents follow the bus live on a map. The location comes from the driver's phone, and a GPS tracker can run alongside it.
The driver ticks each child on and off at every stop, so the school always knows who is on the bus.
For each minibus: MOT, road tax, insurance, servicing, Section 19 permit, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, tyres, defects and daily walk-round checks. For each driver: licence checks, minibus driver training (MiDAS), DBS and first aid.
On a school trip, everyone leaves together and comes back together. At an away match, parents can collect their own child at the ground: they ask on their phone and the teacher checks the code, just like Parent Request at school. Away Matches works with Parent Request.
The register shows straight away who isn't on board, so nobody is left behind unnoticed.
Yes. On away matches the coach is tracked live from the teacher's phone, so parents see where it is and an arrival time based on the traffic. Parents also see each checkpoint, including when the coach is back at school.
Ticked Off was started by Mark Wolstenholme. By day he runs operations at a UK medical-device manufacturer, where every product has to be traceable from raw material to patient. As a parent at a prep school, he asked why a child leaving school isn't recorded with the same care.
Ticked Off is built and run in the UK by Wolstenholme Holdings Ltd. You deal directly with the people who build it.
We build a free demo for your school, with your rooms, your services and your words for prep or after-school club, then walk you through it in about 20 minutes.
