The school communication app families actually use

A school app that doesn't need WhatsApp

Konvoko is the school's official channel for reaching families: newsletters, schedule changes, closures, exams, trips and emergencies arrive as push notifications in seconds. The school never has to manage family phone numbers or email lists.

What schools communicate with Konvoko

• Newsletters and announcements from the head teacher.
• School closures due to weather alerts or incidents.
• Schedule changes, strikes and special days.
• Trips, outings and extra activities.
• Deadline reminders: enrolment, lunch, permission slips.
• Notices by stage, year group or class using themed channels.

Why it lowers GDPR risk for the school

• Recipients provide no name, email or phone number.
• No distribution list containing family or minors' data.
• No groups where phone numbers are exposed.
• Every notice is logged in the school's official channel.
