Whilst you will notice many SchoolPoint features do look different, they essentially function the same. The main reason for this transition to the “SchoolBridge” platform is that it uses more stable and more modern technology than our previous SchoolPoint platform. The platforms will remain 2 separate subscriptions, it is purely the technology and coding base underlying SchoolPoint which is changing. This platform also allows for more improvements to be made to our products, such as being able to add new features which the previous platform was not capable of delivering, and supports better integration between your SchoolPoint and SchoolBridge data, as well as custom SchoolSite websites. As we migrate each module to the new interface, you may also notice some redirect screens. These are temporary, and as each module is rebuilt and enhanced and they will start to go to their own areas. The overall navigation of SchoolPoint and SchoolBridge will become much easier and smoother.

Our goal is to have the whole SchoolPoint platform migrated to the new one by the end of 2025, ready for users coming in to use it for 2026. We will be updating our current help guides continuously as these changes are released, so keep an eye on these. The help guides are accessible from the logged in staff accounts, under the orange “Get Help/ Training” button down the bottom right of your screen. We apologise for any inconvenience these changes may have caused our schools over the last 2 terms, and for the remainder of this year. It is difficult making changes to any live platform as schools do utilise various modules within SchoolPoint and SchoolBridge throughout the year. We appreciate your understanding while we work hard on this.
