School Management Software in Uganda
Ugandan schools run three terms, prepare pupils and students for UNEB's PLE, UCE and UACE, and are now assessing the competency-based lower secondary curriculum. CloudNotte gives a school one system for learner records, assessment, fees in shillings, attendance and parents, with offline CBT for schools where internet cannot be relied on.
Built for how Ugandan 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 (February–May, May/June–August, September–December) on the Ministry of Education and Sports calendar. Schools set their own dates each year.
Grading and report sheets
Continuous assessment combined with end-of-term exams in the ratio the school sets, competency-based scores for lower secondary, and aggregate and division style reporting for primary. Positions, cumulative averages and teacher comments are automatic, and report cards can be printed or published to parents.
School fees
Fees are set per class and per term in Ugandan shillings. Each learner has an invoice and running balance; mobile-money, bank and cash payments are recorded with automatic receipts and reminders. Online collection inside CloudNotte depends on our payment partners' coverage in Uganda — ask us before relying on it.
Student data and the law
The Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 applies to learner and staff data. CloudNotte provides per-user logins and roles, an audit trail and full data export.
Internet and power
Internet is uneven outside Kampala and the larger towns. Offline CBT runs exams with no connection and syncs later; the platform is designed for slow and shared connections and for phones.

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.
