Assessment

Released, not compiled.

Teachers enter scores as they mark. Totals, grades, class averages and positions are derived the moment the last score lands. The last week of term stops being a compilation exercise and becomes a review.

Attendance that reaches home.

Daily registers roll straight onto the report card and send a same-day message home, so a pattern is visible while there is still term left to act on it.

Fees

Every naira, to a name.

Bills raised per class and term. Payments matched to a student, a fee head and a channel automatically. The bursar, the proprietor and the parent see the same figure, at the same moment.

Parents

Parents hear it from you first.

Results, attendance, conduct and fee balances reach every parent the day they change — by SMS and in the portal, so staying informed never depends on downloading anything or making a trip to the school.

Admissions & records

One child, one record.

From the application form to the school leaving certificate, a student exists once. They move up a class and nothing is re-typed — biodata, siblings, medicals, results, attendance and fees all travel with them.

Apply from any phone.

Application, entrance screening, offer and enrolment run end to end online. Documents upload once and stay attached to the record.

Promotion, applied by rule.

Promote, repeat or trial-promote against criteria you set — and the whole class moves up in one action at the end of the session.

Who it's for

One platform, six very different days.

Run the school on this term's numbers.

You carry the enrolment, the payroll and the reputation. A1School gives you the position as it stands this morning, not as it was compiled last month.

  • Enrolment, collection rate and outstanding fees on one screen, per branch
  • Term-on-term comparison, so a shortfall surfaces while you can still act
  • Every waiver and discount carries who approved it, and why
  • Academic performance broken down by class, arm and subject teacher

Built for Nigerian schools

Built in Lagos, for schools across Nigeria.

WAEC entries, naira fee structures, continuous assessment and class positions are part of the design — not settings you have to bend a foreign system into.

Examinations

WAEC, NECO, NABTEB and BECE

Registration lists and candidate data prepared from records the school already holds, in the format each body asks for.

Assessment

Continuous assessment, your weighting

40/60, 30/70, two CAs plus a project — set per subject and per section, and applied everywhere it counts.

Grading

The scale your school already uses

Nine-point WAEC-style grading, primary letter bands, or a scale of your own with your own remark against each band.

Report cards

Position, class average and conduct

The things a Nigerian report card carries — including affective and psychomotor records — laid out the way parents expect to read them.

Payments

Every way a parent pays

Transfer, card, USSD, virtual accounts and bank branch collection — through A1Pay or the gateway you already use.

Structure

Crèche through senior secondary

Nursery, primary, JSS and SSS under one school, each with its own subject offering and its own report card format.

Groups

Every branch, one account

Figures rolled up for the group and kept separate for each school, with staff roles scoped to their own campus.

Data

Your records stay yours

Role-based access, full audit logging and export on request, handled in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act.

Rollout

Live within one term.

Sequenced around your school calendar, so the switch happens between terms rather than in the middle of one.

01

Setup and records

We load your classes, arms, subjects, fee structure and grading scheme, then bring your student list across — from a spreadsheet, another system or paper files — and check the totals against your own register.

From you: your current student list, fee schedule and last term's report card format.

02

Configuration and training

We configure your CA weighting, grade bands, promotion rules and payment channels, then train each group separately — a bursar and a class teacher need entirely different half-hours.

From you: staff for two short sessions, and one internal champion per section.

03

Go live and first report cards

You open the term on A1School, with our team on call through your first score entry and first report card run — the two moments that decide whether staff trust the system.

From you: a start date, and a letter to parents introducing the portal. We'll draft it.

Questions? Answers.

What exactly does A1School cover?

Admissions and enrolment, student records, attendance, classes and subjects, assessment and report cards, computer-based testing, fees and payments, a parent portal, messaging, timetabling, boarding, and analytics — all sharing one student record, one set of permissions and one database.

Can it match our grading and report card format?

Yes. CA weighting, grade bands and remarks are configured per section, so a nursery report card, a primary one and a senior secondary one can each look and calculate differently within the same school.

What happens to our existing records?

They come across during setup, whether they currently live in a spreadsheet, another system or a filing cabinet. Historical results stay attached to each student, so a transcript covers their whole time in the school.

Do parents need to install an app?

No. Everything essential reaches them by SMS, and the portal works in any phone browser. The app is there for parents who prefer it — it's never a condition of being kept informed.

Can we run more than one campus?

Yes. A school group manages every branch from one account, with figures rolled up for the group and kept separate per school, and staff roles scoped to their own campus.

How does it perform on mobile data?

Pages are designed mobile-first at 360 px and kept deliberately small, so they open quickly and use very little data. That matters wherever your users are — on campus wifi, on 4G or 5G, or somewhere with patchy coverage.

How long does it take to go live?

Usually within a single term, and often between two. The three phases above are sequenced around your school calendar so nothing changes mid-term.
