How much does school management software cost in Nigeria?

CloudNotte charges per student, per term: ₦149 (Foundation), ₦499 (Standard), ₦999 (Enterprise) and ₦1,999 (Star), with about 15% off when paid yearly. There is no setup fee. A 300-student school on the Standard plan pays about ₦150,000 per term for results, CBT, fees, attendance, lesson notes and the parent app.

Does it support WAEC and NECO grading?

Yes. Grade scales, assessment weights and report-sheet templates are configurable, and WAEC-style A1–F9 grading, cumulative results and junior and senior secondary transcripts are standard.

Can my school run CBT exams without internet?

Yes. Offline CBT is a desktop application for Windows and macOS that runs the whole exam locally; results sync to the cloud when a connection returns. It is included from the Enterprise plan.

How do parents pay school fees?

Each student gets an invoice and a custom account number. Parents pay by bank transfer, card or cash at the bursary; the school sees every payment and balance as it happens and receipts go out automatically.

Can we move our records from Excel or another software?

Yes. Students, parents, staff and classes are imported from spreadsheets, and the data-migration team helps schools moving from another system. Most schools are running within days.

Is CloudNotte only for big schools?

No. Schools from under 100 students to multi-campus groups use it. Start with results or fees and switch on other modules when you are ready; everything is already connected.

CloudNotte in Nigeria

School Management Software in Nigeria

CloudNotte was built in Port Harcourt for the way Nigerian schools actually run: three terms, continuous assessment plus exams, WAEC and NECO grading, parents who pay by bank transfer, and internet that cannot be trusted on exam day. Most of the 3,000+ schools on CloudNotte are in Nigeria, from one-campus nursery and primary schools to secondary school groups across Lagos, Rivers, the FCT, Ogun, Oyo, Kaduna, Abia and Bayelsa.

Built for how Nigerian schools run

The calendar, the exams, the grading, the money and the law your school already lives with — handled, not worked around.

School calendar

Three terms a year (September to December, January to April, April/May to July) with a mid-term break in each. Sessions, terms and promotion run on this calendar out of the box; schools that run a different calendar set their own dates.

Grading and report sheets

Continuous assessment (tests, assignments, projects) plus the end-of-term exam, with the split the school chooses — 40/60 and 30/70 are both common. Grades follow WAEC-style bands or the school's own scale, cumulative averages carry across terms, positions are computed per class and per subject, and report sheets include the affective and psychomotor domain ratings and class-teacher and head-teacher comments Nigerian parents expect. Early-grade (nursery and lower primary) report sheets are separate.

School fees

Fees are set per class and per term in naira. Each student gets an invoice; parents pay by bank transfer to a custom account number, by card, or in cash recorded at the bursary, and the school sees who has paid, who is owing and how much, in real time. Receipts are automatic, fee reminders go out to parents, and payroll runs from the same accounting module.

Student data and the law

The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (and the NDPR before it) makes a school responsible for the personal data of its students and staff. CloudNotte gives every user their own login and role, keeps an audit trail of who changed what, and lets the school export its own data at any time.

Internet and power

Internet and power are unreliable in much of the country, and exam day is when they fail. CloudNotte's Offline CBT runs a complete exam on a school computer or local server with no internet and syncs results when a connection returns; the Secure CBT app does the same for proctored exams. The parent app and school portal are built for slow and shared connections.

Exams and assessments in Nigeria

Results line up with the bodies your school answers to.

WAEC (WASSCE)

Senior secondary leaving exam. Report sheets use the A1–F9 scale and the subject combinations schools prepare for.

NECO (SSCE)

Same grading family; schools that sit both keep one gradebook.

JAMB UTME

Computer-based since 2013. CloudNotte CBT lets SS3 students practise on screen in the exam format, online or offline.

BECE / Junior WAEC

Junior secondary leaving exam; JSS3 cumulative results and transcripts are generated from the same records.

Common Entrance

Admission entrance tests can be run as CBT and results used in the online admission flow.

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.
