For primary schools
Know who’s collecting
every child, every day.
Fetching replaces the pick-up phone calls, planner notes and corridor messages with one live list your team can trust — and gives parents a simple way to arrange the juggle.
Pick-up is 15 minutes
of organised chaos.
The 2.45pm phone rush
Grandma is collecting today. A parent is stuck at work. The office phone rings while the register is still open, and every message has to reach the right class door in time.
GDPR everywhere except the gate
Schools are rightly rigorous about data protection, yet the most sensitive daily fact — who is physically collecting each child — still travels on scraps of paper, informal messages and shouted instructions that leave no secure record.
Safeguarding you can’t evidence
You know your families, but knowing isn’t a record. Inspectors, and parents in dispute, want to see the decision trail.
How Fetching works
One place for every collection arrangement in your school.
Parents build their trusted network
Families add friends and family who can help with the school run. Everyone verifies their identity, so no one can turn up with a fake profile.
Help arrives in real time
When a parent asks someone to collect, the school system updates instantly with the new fetcher.
Teachers see who to expect
At pick-up, staff see each child's collector with a photo, so the right adult is matched to the right child.
Independence is recorded too
Older children can be marked to travel home alone, with timestamps that support safeguarding if questions arise.
Who it’s for
Made for the people
holding it together.
Office administrators
The pick-up calls, notes and corridor messages stop landing on your desk at the busiest hour of the day.
School business managers
One system to roll out, no new hardware, and a clear record you can hand over when it’s asked for.
Headteachers
Safeguarding at the gate that is visible, consistent and evidenced across every class.
Questions schools ask us.
How long does it take to set up?+
We onboard your school with your existing class lists and support you through the parent rollout. No hardware, no server, nothing to install on school machines.
What about families without a smartphone?+
We know that every family is different and work with them to find the right solution for their circumstances when needed.
What’s wrong with having a list of approved collectors?+
Approved lists change throughout the year and teachers can’t be expected to remember and recognise every person on every child’s approved list.
Is it just for the end of the school day?+
We are currently working on a version of Fetching for clubs and activities so parents can mobilise their support networks for multiple areas of their child’s life. Sign up to our waitlist to find out more.
