Orchid Reports has been designed in collaboration with DSLs and welfare professionals within the education sector.
Orchid Reports offers students a quick and simple method of reporting any issues or incidents of concern to them, via a QR code. Examples include:
• Bullying
• Racism
• Hate Crime
• Loneliness
• Drugs
• Violence
Included in the submission, students can also book a one-to-one appointment with a DSL or a member of the welfare team.
The easy-to-use dashboard and reporting functions means that DSLs and education/welfare teams may quickly and effectively deal with issues as they arise, as well as identify trends within the data and react accordingly.
The system can report on a wide range of parameters, including:
• Year Group/Class/Course
• Gender
• Type of issue
• Date Range
• Resolved/outstanding
In addition to assisting DSLs and education/welfare teams, the reporting will help SMTs, governors and if applicable, external parties, to review student welfare provision.

What Is AttendTrack? AttendTrack is an early intervention attendance platform built specifically for UK primary and secondary schools and MATs. It works alongside your existing MIS — not as a replacement — adding the AI intelligence your current system was never designed to provide.
The Problem It Solves Your MIS records who is absent. It does not tell you who needs help right now, why patterns are forming, or what action to take. Every morning, attendance staff are still chasing voicemails, manually logging calls, and reacting too late. AttendTrack ends that.
What It Does
• Automatically transcribes parent absence calls and assigns the correct DfE attendance code — in under 30 seconds, versus 45 minutes manually
• Sends real-time safeguarding alerts to staff for unexplained absences and at-risk pupils
• Uses AI pattern detection to identify persistent absence risks before they escalate
• Provides AI-powered intervention recommendations — supporting your staff's decisions, never replacing them
• Generates Ofsted-ready reports, DfE-compliant letters and audit trails in minutes
• Includes the UK's first AI mobile attendance app — free with every subscription — so pastoral leads can manage attendance from anywhere
Proven Results
• 500+ staff hours saved per year
• 40% reduction in unexplained absences
• Staff training time under 1 hour
• Estimated annual savings of £15,000+
• 28–63% cheaper than full MIS systems offering the same attendance features, with better AI
