Your data stays yours
Your data sits in SQL Server in a documented schema, and you can export all of it at any time at no charge. Migrating in or out is a database job with a documented procedure, and we will walk your team through it either way.
An MIS that belongs to your school.
MyPortal is an information management system for UK schools — attendance, behaviour, exams, timetabling and reporting. One pupil record, one permission model, one audit trail, hosted wherever your data belongs.
Why MyPortal
An MIS holds everything a school knows about a child.
That is a good reason to be careful about how it works.
Permissions are the architecture
An MIS holds safeguarding notes, SEND plans and behaviour records. Access control and auditing are enforced centrally on every request, so the decision is made server-side each time rather than re-implemented module by module.
Hosted where you want it
Run MyPortal in our UK cloud, or deploy the same build inside your own tenancy so the data never leaves your infrastructure. Where it lives is a decision for your school and its DPO, and both deployments are supported the same way.
Modules
The whole school day, modelled properly.
Each module stands on its own, and every one of them shares a single permission model, a single audit trail, and a single source of truth.
-
Attendance
Statutory session and lesson marks, registers, and absence follow-up.
-
Behaviour
Incidents, sanctions, achievements, and the reporting behind them.
-
Exams
Entries, seating, access arrangements, and results.
-
Assessment
Marksheets, grade sets, and progress tracking across a cohort.
-
Curriculum & timetabling
Subjects, classes, teaching groups, and the school timetable.
-
Students
Registrations, contacts, addresses, and the full pupil record.
-
Staff
Employment records, roles, and the permissions that follow them.
-
SEND
Provisions, plans, and the review cycle around them.
-
Profiles & reporting
Report cycles, comment banks, and published reports.
-
Admissions
Applications, offers, and the route from applicant to on-roll.
-
Documents
Attachments and file storage bound to the records they belong to.
-
Administration
School configuration, academic years, terms, and system settings.
Who it is for
Three audiences, one database.
Staff, students and parents are served by the same system through role-based routing, so all three views read from one pupil record and stay in step by design.
-
Staff
Teachers, tutors, pastoral leads and administrators each get a view built around what their role actually does, with permissions to match.
-
Students
Timetable, assessment, behaviour points and documents, in a view appropriate to their age and to what the school chooses to share.
-
Parents and carers
Attendance, reports and school communication, without a separate app to buy and a separate database to keep in sync.
Architecture
Boring technology, deliberately.
None of this is exotic. A school IT team should be able to read the stack, host it, back it up, and restore it without learning a new ecosystem first.
How it fits together- Backend
- ASP.NET Core 8 Web API C#, long-term support release
- Frontend
- Angular 20 SPA Staff, students and parents, role-routed
- Database
- SQL Server 2019+ Versioned migrations, further providers planned

Where we are
Under active development, and not yet holding live school data.
Core services and the foundational modules are in place, and the rest is being built out. We would rather tell you that now than sell you a timetable we cannot meet. If you are planning a change of MIS and want to shape one while it is still being built, this is the point at which that is worth doing.
Moving across
Leaving your current MIS is the hard part.
Every school we speak to has been burned by a data migration, or has heard from someone who was. So we treat it as a project with a named owner and a rehearsal.
-
A conversation
Tell us what you run now, your roll, and when your current contract ends. We will be straight with you about whether MyPortal fits yet.
-
An environment of your own
We stand up a private instance so your team can work through the modules that matter to you, hands on and at their own pace.
-
A rehearsal migration
Your real data, extracted from your current MIS and loaded into that instance, so mismatches surface now rather than in September.
-
Cut over
A scheduled switch at a point in the calendar that suits the school, with the old system kept readable behind you.
What that looks like in practice depends on what you are running now — tell us and we will be specific.
Bring us your hardest question.
Timetabling edge cases, a decade of historic attendance, a federation with shared staff — the awkward requirements are the interesting ones. Tell us what your school actually needs and we will tell you honestly whether MyPortal does it yet.
