BOOK A DEMOHow InVentry makes secondary schools safer
Knowing who is on-site at any given time is important for any Secondary School. The safety of staff and pupils always comes first. Know when pupils are late or leaving early with a full read-and-write-back integration with your MIS. Data can be stored on-premise and via the InVentry cloud, so you have access, anywhere, any time.
The InVentry visitor management for schools system is designed with both GDPR and safeguarding in mind.

Simple Audits
Scan the barcode on the door of the room you’re wanting to audit and see all the assets associated with that room – a full school audit has never been easier
Widgets
Create your own widgets within Audit & Compliance. Each secondary school is different, so they want to see different reports – it is completely tailored to you!

Report a Problem
Configuration not working on a smartboard? Student broken a chair leg? Simply scan the barcode associated with your broken asset to report a problem to who deals with it in your school!
The Comprehensive Digital Registration System for Your School
ClassMark and ClubReg are InVentry’s solution to classroom registration. Secondary schools need top of the range registration processes, which is why we came up with two ways to combat in-class registration and after school club registration!
ClassMark
The ClassMark system is a fantastic asset for teachers and administration staff alike. Back office workers no longer have to process paper registers, saving them time and providing superior organisation. What’s more, the easy-to-use system allows your teaching staff to access school registers on any device — they’ll never be without the key information they require to ensure all students are present and correct.
ClubReg
Ensuring the safeguarding of pupils does not just extend to during normal school hours. Protecting pupils during breakfast or after school clubs is just as important.
While schools often look to improve security and functionality of their regular sign-in and registration systems, all too often breakfast and after-school clubs are overlooked.
With ClubReg, outdated paper registration systems can now be a thing of the past. ClubReg provides staff leading extra curricular activities with a digital registration system that links with the rest of the school.
InVentry Integrates with Paxton
Paxton and InVentry give secondary school staff peace of mind. With most secondary schools having various entrance points, you can sign in with your ID badge and open doors quickly and easily at multiple points. Want to only allow access to certain people at a particular point in the school? Easy! InVentry’s secondary school software allows you to grant permissions to the relevant staff members all at the click of a button!
Seamless
Populate your Paxton system and users directly through InVentry’s electronic visitor sign-in system for schools.

Assign temporary door access cards to visitors or those who are pre-booked on InVentry.
Automated
Automatically disable Paxton access when a user is disabled or removed from InVentry or your MIS.
Effortless
Remove the burden of Paxton management on administrative staff.
Accessible
Assign different door access rights through your InVentry visitor management for schools system.
Straightforward
Trigger door releases via an InVentry card reader with a single swipe.
What is visitor management?
Visitor management is any process that helps a school or organisation track those who visit their premises. For many schools or organisations, the simple sign in book is outdated and no longer sufficient. Many now have higher security requirements such as ID badges, DBS checks and many more.
Is InVentry GDPR compliant?
Not only is InVentry GDPR compliant, it also helps schools improve their GDPR compliance. We have a full GDPR policy available, as well as the information regarding how InVentry controls the data you input.
How much does InVentry cost?
The price of InVentry differs from site to site. As every school site or organisation is different and requires many different features, it is hard to pinpoint one price. If you would like a site-specific quote, please book a demo with an Account Manager who will be able to understand your needs and get your the correct pricing.
How we helped Ossett Academy
Ossett Academy needed a state-of-the-art solution to deal with their visitor and pupil management. Ossett Academy is a High School and Sixth Form College based in West Yorkshire, part of the Accord Multi Academy Trust. The educational charity was established in 2016 and is made up of four academics who were the founding members for the trust. When they needed a solution to help their secondary school with sign in procedures, they knew to come to InVentry.
The Challenge
Steve Thompson, Director of ICT for Accord Multi Academy Trust, wanted a consistent and stable signing in system for staff, students and visitors for all their academies. With 4 academies across the trust, ranging from Primary Schools to Sixth Forms, a system that could connect the 4 sites was essential. The main priorities for the Ossett Academy, in particular, were to be able to sign in staff, students and visitors, organise fire evacuations and be able to report attendance – luckily, InVentry could do it all.
The Solution
InVentry solved many problems for Osset Academy through its ability to store information securely. The system also enabled them to become fully GDPR compliant through the storage of data in one central location. Quickscan Touch units were also installed as part of their purchase, which allowed staff to sign in at any entrance point – regardless of where the InVentry screen is based. This has been a great asset for Ossett Academy as it means that staff who tend to roam around the Trust can sign in and get straight on with their job.
