Introducing Groupcall Messenger

The complete school communication system

ABOUT MESSENGER

Groupcall Messenger is the system of choice for over 5,000 primary and secondary schools within the UK and Europe. 

Messenger enables schools to contact parents, staff and students quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively ensuring messages are delivered to the right person at the right time. Messenger also provides a choice of communication paths for your messages including:
SMS Text

SMS Text

Over 7.5 Million text messages sent out by schools using Messenger across the UK every month. Parents have the ability to respond to text messages sent from the school in the same way they would with a normal text message.

Email

Email

Messages can be sent via email which are unlimited and free of charge. Great for sending school newsletters and saving money instead of using paper, ink and time, not to mention relying on the newsletter getting home in the first place!

Voice messages

Voice messages

You can record your voice directly into Messenger and send the recorded message quickly and easily to recipients' landlines or mobiles. You are also able to use the text-to-speech feature if you do not wish to record your own voice.

Social media

Social media

With Messenger's built-in Twitter integration, you are also able to ‘tweet’ your messages directly through the system, ensuring you maximise your school’s social media presence and get your message across quickly.

FULLY OPTIMISED INTERFACE

The Messenger interface has been designed to have a self-explanatory look and feel which means that processes are quick, simple and intuitive.
Messenger is also optimised for mobile devices so you can use it on your phone, tablet and desktop computer.

USING MESSENGER CAN
HELP YOUR SCHOOL TO:
Boost attendance & keep children safe

BOOST ATTENDANCE & KEEP CHILDREN SAFE

Messenger is proven to increase student attendance and reduce unauthorised absences, by providing an early alert to parents if a child fails to arrive at school. In some cases, Messenger has reduced unauthorised absenses by almost 30% in some authorities and by more than 50% in some schools.
Reduce communication costs

REDUCE COMMUNICATION COSTS

Groupcall Xpressions is the parental app within Messenger, which makes communication between a school and parents easier. It’s free for parents to download on mobile phones and tablets. As all messages in Xpressions are free of charge to send, this significantly reduces the money spent on paper, printing and postage.
Enhance Parental Engagement

ENHANCE PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT

Messenger enables your school to enhance parental engagement by allowing for a two-way communication between parents. Improve communication with non-English speaking families by sending and receiving messages which can be translated in up to 64 different languages.
Save administration time

SAVE ADMINISTRATION TIME

As Messenger reads information direct from the MIS system and sends messages instantly, staff save time by not having to make time-consuming calls and updating data manually. With incoming messages and attendance write-back, this process is even quicker when using Messenger.

Parents will be presented with information for each of their children, such as marks and grades, achievement records, timetables, attendance records and absences and much more.
