What Ed-admin is
Ed-admin is a cloud-hosted, browser-based school management platform for independent and private schools. It brings admissions, academics, assessment, finance, HR, communications, boarding, and transport into one system, with modules reading from and writing to the same student record. Assessment supports CAPS, PYP, IB, IGCSE, A- and O-Level, and BGCSE curriculum structures. A mobile app has dedicated portals for parents, staff, students, and alumni; the platform is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Listed connections include Wonde, Google Suite calendars and events, Power BI, ASC and Timetabler imports, biometric attendance systems, and online payment providers. Ed-admin uses role-based access and audit logging for sensitive record changes, and says its information security is managed to ISO 27001. It says its data practices align with UK and EU GDPR and, where applicable, POPIA, with schools retaining control of student data as data controllers. Pricing is scoped to the school under annual agreements; all 50 modules and four app portals are included, and support has no per-call charges.
