Solutions · School Education
Run the school. Support every learner. Improve every decision.
SkillsCortex is designed to connect school administration, learner management, educator and staff management, and curriculum and assessment into one operational thread — so the principal, educators and guardians work from the same governed record.
Built for
The challenge today
- Learner, staff and assessment data spread across spreadsheets and disconnected tools

- Evidence & records
- Application, guardian relationship and consent
- Rule & approval gate

- Permission boundary
- Assigned programme and records only; cross-party sharing requires explicit authorisation.
Review exceptions before progressing
Website demonstration of intended workflows. No real records, approvals, credentials or payments are processed.
Intelligence with human authority
Deterministic policy checks establish eligibility and approvals. Analytics highlights trends, capacity and anomalies. AI can summarise documents and recommend action against authorised evidence; an accountable person retains consequential decision authority.
Integration boundaries
Proposed governed exchange with identity, messaging, accounting and sector reporting systems. OneCortex, PayMesh and HustleHub relationships are described as intended integrations, not verified connections. Confirm scope, authorisation and readiness during discovery.
Reporting measures
KPI definitions, not claimed performance results.
- Attendance: attended periods / scheduled periods
- Coverage: taught outcomes / planned outcomes
- Intervention completion and progression by cohort
Before you choose a solution
The scope below describes connected records and governed workflows. Delivery scope, configuration and operational readiness must be confirmed during discovery rather than assumed from website examples.
How the work flows
Admission to class placement
Applications checked against capacity and admission rules, then learners are registered, linked to guardians and placed in classes.
Attendance to intervention
Per-period attendance and marks feed early-warning indicators that route to an educator for review and guardian engagement.
Leave to substitution
Approved educator leave identifies affected lessons and suggests eligible substitutes for a manager to approve.
