Switching to SchoolTrendz

Switch software, with every total checked

Row counts, money totals, attendance and results checked against your old system before anything goes live — or start straight from a spreadsheet.

What moves with you

Everything that matters moves across

From the supported older PHP school system, every area below moves across — mapped table by table.

Students & admissions

Guardians & relations

Attendance history

Classes & timetable

Exams & results

Library records

Fees & payments

Staff & HR records

Transport

Hostel

All 80 tables of the supported legacy system are mapped. Insecure data — reversible passwords, stored card numbers, gateway secrets — is deliberately left out.

How it works

Five steps, one checkpoint

Nothing becomes permanent until you've reviewed the report.

  1. 1

    Talk to us

    Tell us what you're moving from.

  2. 2

    Trial move

    We bring your records in without touching your live system.

  3. 3

    Reconciliation report

    Row counts, money totals, attendance and results, checked side by side.

  4. 4

    Go-live, school by school

    Each school switches over in one all-or-nothing step.

  5. 5

    Switch back possible

    If something isn't right, that school can switch back while it's sorted.

See it for yourself

A sample reconciliation report

A real report is built from your own data — this is the format, using our fictional demo school.

Safe by design

Built so migration can't be the risky part

Re-run without duplicates

Running the move again updates existing records instead of creating copies.

All-or-nothing, per school

Each school moves in one step — never left half-migrated.

Passwords upgraded automatically

Modern hashing applied the first time each person signs in — nobody resets anything.

Sensitive data left behind

Reversible passwords, stored card numbers and gateway secrets are deliberately not carried over.

Spreadsheets welcome

Or bring your lists in with CSV

On spreadsheets or paper registers? Start straight in SchoolTrendz.

Students Teachers Guardians Fee invoices Exam marks Imported, row by row

Ready-made templates for each type, with a clear error message on any row that needs fixing.

AI tip

Once your school is live, ask SchoolTrendz AI things like "Which students in class 5 still have fees due?" — early access, answers within your permissions.

Questions about switching

Will our current system be disrupted while you migrate?
No — we bring your records into SchoolTrendz without touching your live system, and that school only switches over, in one step, once you've reviewed the reconciliation report.
What if we're not on PHP/MySQL software?
You can still move in with a spreadsheet (CSV) import for students, teachers, guardians, fee invoices and exam marks, using our ready-made templates.
Do you carry over our saved passwords and card numbers?
Passwords are upgraded to modern hashing the first time each person signs in. Stored card numbers and payment-gateway secrets are deliberately not carried over — SchoolTrendz never needs to hold them. See our security and privacy page.
Can we go back if something goes wrong?
Yes. A school that has just switched over can be switched back to its old system while any issue is sorted out.
Do all our schools have to move at once?
No. Each school moves in its own all-or-nothing step, on its own timeline — useful if you run more than one school.
