Schools and MATs invest heavily in digital tools to enhance learning, but how much of that impact extends beyond the classroom?

Too often, there’s a disconnect between school and home—with both parents and guardians struggling to see what their child is learning, and educators missing out on valuable support from caregivers.

Plugging in…

With Skolon Guardians, schools and trusts can bridge this gap by giving guardians real-time insights into their child’s learning journey, and decision-makers can ensure that the resources they provide are being used effectively, strengthen home-school communication, and empower families to offer meaningful support.

When guardians understand which tools their child engages with, how much time is spent on schoolwork, and where additional help is needed, they become partners in learning—leading to better outcomes for pupils and a stronger, well-informed school community.

Why does transparency matter for schools?

As a school or MAT, transparency builds trust, accountability, and engagement. It ensures clarity in policies, safeguarding, budgeting, and data protection, fostering confidence among pupils, parents, and fellow staff. 

When it comes to digital learning, this level of transparency also supports informed decisions, GDPR compliance, and secure data management.

Parental and guardian involvement offers multiple benefits for both the school and trust, including:

  • Informed guardians leading to better-supported pupils, reinforcing the school’s efforts at home.
  • Strengthened home-school communication reducing misunderstandings and improves trust between parents/guardians and school staff.
  • Schools are gaining better insights into how digital tools are used outside the classroom and can therefore provide support where possible

How Skolon Guardians supports your school or trust

Skolon Guardians provides valuable insights that strengthen home-school collaboration, ensuring digital tools are used effectively and students receive the right support.

  • Tracking tool usage – Parents and guardians can see which apps pupils engage with, without needing to ask, helping schools ensure resources are being utilised effectively.
  • Time spent on learning – Understand student engagement beyond the school day, encouraging collaboration between teachers and families to address learning gaps.
  • Identifying areas for support – Help guardians recognise where their child may need extra help, fostering a stronger learning community through active parental involvement.

You’re half-way there

As a school or trust, it’s likely that you’re most already investing in the right tools— but now it’s time to make them work even harder to ensure you’re getting full value for money. Skolon and Skolon Guardians takes the guesswork away from all sides by ensuring families are informed, engaged, and ready to support learning.

By strengthening the link between school and home, schools can drive better outcomes for every pupil with very little additional effort.
