School essentials brought together: a calendar, books, a school bag and a plant.

Getting started

A calm move, one step at a time

You do not have to move everything at once. Most schools start with registers and messages, then add the rest term by term.

  1. 1

    Create your school

    Sign up, name your school, and add your logo and colours. Starter is free, so there is nothing to pay yet.

  2. 2

    Set up the year

    Add your terms, classes and rooms. If you run a timetable, build it now and Montessa will flag any clashes.

  3. 3

    Bring in students and families

    Add students and link their guardians and siblings. Health notes, consents and approved collectors can follow.

  4. 4

    Invite your staff

    Invite teachers, office and finance staff. Each role lands on its own home, with only what it needs.

  5. 5

    Invite families

    Send each family an invitation. They join on the web or the Montessa app and see their own children straight away.

  6. 6

    Switch on the rest

    Turn on billing, transport, homework, portfolios or your school website when your team is ready, not all on day one.

A welcoming school community, with children, a teacher, a family and a school bus.

Bring every part of your school together.

Start free for up to 30 students. No card, no contract, no set-up fee.
