A day at Northgate Performing Arts

The same day, with one system doing the running about. Scroll through it.

  1. Helen reads the brief: 14 auditions on Saturday and £2,180 in fees overdue.

  2. Students and staff sign in at reception, and the on-site list updates.

  3. Teachers take the first registers on tablets, and two unexplained absences go to the office.

  4. Sam in the office sends three conditional offers from the audition scores, each with a deposit link.

  5. A parent books a taster class on the website, and it appears on the admissions pipeline.

  6. The fire alarm sounds, and wardens tick everyone off on their phones, signal or not.

  7. A studio clash next Tuesday gets flagged, and Helen books cover from the timetable.

  8. Parents see tomorrow's rehearsal change on the portal, with no group email needed.

Why your own system beats generic software

Built around your programmes

Full-time, part-time and junior programmes each keep their own classes, fees and term dates.

Fees the way you charge them

Monthly or termly fees, sibling discounts and payment plans set up to match your fee list.

One place for parents

Parents see timetables, attendance, letters and fees on one portal with your name on it.
