“...parents and staff love it, it just makes life so much easier and is saving loads of time every single day.”
Sally Ellingford,
Attendance Officer at BHASVICEngage Better
Every day, thousands of parents report their children’s health and mental wellbeing issues to schools via Studybugs. We process around 1,000,000 reports every year, helping schools identify and tackle potential problems early.
And with free instant messaging built-in, Studybugs gives you a secure space for open dialogue between parents and staff.
Meanwhile Studybugs Parent Time helps you connect with families, especially those that are otherwise hard to reach. Backed by the Department for Education, it improves engagement while reducing the burden on teachers.
Why Studybugs
Since our founding in 2014, our aim has always been to help keep children happy, healthy and in school.
We started off by tracking what bugs are going around schools and passing on expert advice to families. Over the last 7 years, we’ve expanded our work to help maximise pupil attendance, improve mental and physical wellbeing, engage hard-to-reach parents and free up teachers’ time.
Meanwhile the anonymised data we collect from parents is now used by researchers within the NHS, UKHSA, universities and local authorities, helping tackle Covid-19, childhood asthma, stomach bugs, mental health issues and more.
We build strong relationships with schools, who rely on us daily to run at their best. See what they have to say about Studybugs.
Free Platform
We provide our service free of charge so it can reach the widest possible audience. Which is why when the Department for Education asked us to commit to providing it free forever, we were happy to agree.
The Studybugs platform has been developed with funding from the Department for Education, UK Research & Innovation and the Open Data Institute among others.
The free platform includes our web-based School Portal, live health alerts, MIS integration, instant messaging, Studybugs Assistant and more. We fund ourselves by providing optional paid-for add-ons for schools.
Used by schools and colleges across the UK, from 40 to 3,000 pupils
