What is school management software?

Software a school uses to run its office and academics in one place: student, parent and staff records; attendance; assessments, results and report sheets; fees and accounting; timetable; communication with parents; and increasingly online learning and computer-based tests. It replaces registers, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups with one system everyone logs into.

What does CloudNotte include?

Results and report sheets, online, offline and proctored CBT, school fees and accounting with payroll, attendance and child pick-up, admissions, timetable, lesson notes with AI, a learning management system, messaging, a website builder, a parent app, and a public school page in the CloudNotte directory. Modules are switched on by plan.

How much does it cost?

Per student, per term or per year, with no setup fee. From ₦149 per student per term in Nigeria, from $1.00 in the rest of Africa, from $2.50 in the United States and from €2.00 in Europe. Every plan and price is on the pricing page.

Does it work offline?

The exam tools do: Offline CBT and Secure CBT run complete exams on a school computer or local server with no internet and sync results later. The rest of the platform needs an ordinary connection and is built for slow and shared networks.

Which countries is CloudNotte used in?

Mostly Nigeria, with schools across Africa and in the United Kingdom and the United States. There are country pages for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, the UK and the US with the exam boards, grading and pricing that apply.

How long does setup take?

Most schools are running within days. Students, parents, staff and classes are imported from a spreadsheet, the team helps set up sessions, terms, classes and fees, and staff are trained on the modules they will use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CloudNotte and how does it work?
CloudNotte is all-in-one school management software. A school signs up, adds its classes, students, staff and parents, and then runs results, report sheets, CBT exams, fees, attendance, lesson notes and parent communication from one account. It works in the browser and in the CloudNotte app, and the CBT and secure-exam tools also work offline.
Who is CloudNotte for?
Nursery, primary and secondary schools (K-12), school groups with several campuses, training academies that sell courses, and teachers who want to run an online class. Higher institutions use the separate CloudNotte Higher Institution product.
Can I use CloudNotte if I already have a physical school?
Yes. Most CloudNotte schools are ordinary day and boarding schools. The software runs the office work — results, fees, attendance, records and parent updates — and adds online learning, CBT and a parent app on top. It is not only for online schools.
Is CloudNotte secure?
Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, every user has their own login and role, accounting actions are protected by a PIN, and results are published only when the school says so. Secure CBT exams add identity checks, lockdown and audit trails.
Does CloudNotte work without internet?
The CBT tools do. Offline CBT runs a full exam on a local computer or server with no internet and syncs results when a connection returns, and the Secure CBT app works the same way for proctored exams. Day-to-day modules need an ordinary connection but are built for slow and shared networks.
What does CloudNotte cost?
Schools pay per student, per term or per year. In Nigeria plans start at ₦149 per student per term on the Foundation plan, with Standard, Enterprise and Star plans adding more modules. Prices for the rest of Africa, the United States and Europe are on the pricing page. There is no setup fee.
What makes CloudNotte different from other school management systems?
Results, CBT (online, offline and proctored), fees, attendance, lesson notes with AI, a learning management system and a parent app are one product with one login — not separate tools glued together. Schools also get a public page in the CloudNotte school directory, a jobs board for hiring teachers, and a support team that understands how Nigerian and African schools actually run.
