School Run Product Case Study
The School Run, Without The Scramble.
School information ends up everywhere. School Run gathers it from every place it lands and shows you only what applies to your child — what’s on, what’s due, and what you actually need to do about it.
An App That Makes School Comms…
A parent-first app built for everything school throws at a family.
THE CHALLENGE
Turning everything a school sends into one clear week per kid
A newsletter isn’t data. It’s prose with a table in the middle, three date formats, and a link to the page with the real schedule on it.
“Remember swim kit tomorrow” doesn’t say which child, which year group, or which day it actually means.
Tell a parent their kid needs swim kit when they don’t and you’ve made the morning worse. Do it twice and the app gets unceremoniously uninstalled.
THE SOLUTION
Filtered To Your Child
Every update gets matched to the right kid using year group, class, sport and whatever else the school gives us. No wading through news about other people’s children.
Tasks, Not Just Dates
Forms, payments and kit lists become tasks with real deadlines. Everything else sits quietly in the week view. ‘Overdue’ looks nothing like ‘Due Thursday’.
Two Notifications, Not Twenty-Three
One on Sunday for the week ahead, one the night before for key reminders. Anything genuinely urgent lands the moment it does.
Shared Access, Built In
Invite a co-parent, grandparent or carer by email. They tap the link and the child is already there, so nobody’s stuck being the one who passes it all on.
