The staff app

The House Points app, in every teacher's pocket

Teachers award points from their phone in two taps, and admins set up the whole school from a laptop. Try both on this page, with a sample school.

The Classroom screen on a phone: students to tap and a value for each
For teachers

Two taps from a good moment to a house point.

The teacher app's screens, with a sample class. Tap a few students, tap a value, then see it on My Points and the leaderboard.

Tap a few students, then a value. Each student's house gets the points.

Sample screen: nothing is saved

For admins

Set up the whole school from one place.

Name the houses, choose the values, invite staff, bring in the roster and pair the hallway TV. A category switched off here leaves the teacher's phone above.

Works offline. Installs like an app.

  • Opens with no Wi-Fi

    Once it's on a phone, the app opens in the classroom with the weak signal, or none at all.

  • Keeps every award

    Points given offline wait on the phone, and send the next time the app is open and online.

  • Sits on the home screen

    Added from the browser in a minute, it opens full screen, like the phone's other apps.
