Engaging parents in their children’s education and involving them in school-life is something that many schools seek to achieve. Yet for British International School Riyadh, they had more reason than most to focus on parental engagement…
"We are in an unusual situation where over one third of our members of staff are also parents at the school.”
- Natalie Ward, Data Officer
When the school first investigated FrogParent, they realised that their staff parents would have to search the entire database for information on their own child. This was inconvenient but also raised data protection issues that they wanted to address
How they did it
Frog recommended FrogCode as a solution.
FrogCode expands the possibilities of Frog technology, enabling schools to create their own widgets and applications.
Frog designed a widget (using FrogCode) which would recognise staff parents when they logged in and automatically associate parents with their children, so they would only see the data that was relevant to them.
