Back to School Admissions
Make Admissions the
Easy Part of Going Back.
When new intake and re-enrolment collide, OpenApply keeps every family, document and conversation in one place — so your busiest season runs as your calmest.
See it set up for your school. No prep needed.
The Problem
The Busiest Week of the Admissions Year is the One You Can Least Afford to Lose a Family in.
New intake and re-enrolment overlap. Documents arrive by email, post and message. And the team that should be building relationships is instead re-keying data and chasing paperwork. Run it on a spreadsheet and you're one missed email away from a gap.
Documents Everywhere
Forms and files scattered across inboxes, with no clear view of what's outstanding.
Conversations Lost
Enquiries spread across personal inboxes, so no one owns the family.
No View of The Funnel
Leadership can't forecast intake, and the team can't see where families stall.
Four Frictions, Four Fixes.
The admin that makes back-to-school hard, and what changes when it's all in one place.
The Friction
Manual Document Chasing
The Fix
Families upload everything through a self-service portal, so the team tracks what's outstanding at a glance instead of by inbox.
The Friction
Fragmented Communication Across Personal Inboxes
The Fix
Every enquiry, message and document in one shared record, so no family is anyone's blind spot.
The Friction
Last-minute Form Changes During the Rush
The Fix
Forms reviewed, localised and tested before the season, not edited mid-application.
The Friction
No Single View of the Funnel
The Fix
One live picture of enquiries, applications, offers and confirmations, so leadership can forecast and the team can see where families stall.
