GSMS is onboarding schools for the coming term.Book a demo →

Boarding schools

Every boarder accounted for — in class, in the house and on leave.

Boarding schools carry responsibility around the clock. GSMS keeps houses, rooms, bed allocations and boarder leave alongside the academic and welfare record.

What matters most

Built around how boarding schools work.

01

Houses and rooms

Boarding houses, rooms and bed allocations with overlap checks enforced by the database.

02

Leave and returns

Boarder leave with expected and actual return times; overdue returns are flagged.

03

Care and incidents

Medical information for first-aiders and incident reports sent to parents immediately.

04

Residence requests

Maintenance and room issues reported through the student self-service centre.

Typical configuration

What institutions like yours usually switch on.

Capabilities are enabled per institution during onboarding — you choose what fits, and can change it later.

  • Boarding houses, rooms and beds
  • Boarder leave with overdue alerts
  • Incident reports to parents
  • Medical and allergy information
  • Residence maintenance requests
  • Parent portal and messages

Portals for learners and families

Boarders see their house and room details; parents see leave and welfare notices for their own child.

The same everywhere

One record per learner
Information is entered once and reused wherever it is allowed — no re-typing between offices.
Role, permission and scope
Everyone sees only what their responsibilities and assigned school or campus require.
A traceable history
Results, payments, documents and sensitive records keep an audit trail of who changed what.
Data protection by design
Children's data is handled with care: consent for photos, restricted welfare records, verifiable documents.
