Ticked Off replaces the walkie-talkies, paper lists and corridor shouting at the end of the day. The room confirms the child, reception checks the code, and every handover is on record.
Runs in the browser on any phone or tablet. Nothing for parents or staff to install.
Most schools know exactly where every child is at 3pm. By 5.30pm, after clubs, prep and late pick ups, that picture often lives in a teacher's head.
A child is sent down because someone at reception said a name. Nobody can prove who it was.
A tick on a paper list is the only record, and the list goes in the recycling.
When prep ends, the last few children move between staff with no formal handover at all.
No child is released until the room has confirmed them and reception has matched a code. Each step takes seconds.
The teacher ticks each child into prep, club or activity on screen, so the school knows exactly who is in the room.
At reception, the parent types their child's name and the family password on their own phone. No app, no account to remember.
The teacher's screen pings. They check the child is ready and release them, and the parent receives a three-letter code for today only.
KMRReception sees the child arrive and the code on the parent's phone. Only when the two match does the child go home.
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 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.
Download the model policy (Word)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.
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, 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.
Morning runs into school and the evening return journey, with each child ticked on and off the bus and parents told when they have arrived.
Know who travelled, who came back on the coach and who went home with a parent from the away ground.
We will walk you through a real afternoon, from register to the last late pick up, using three phones on the table.
