How do you log check-ins at your front desk.
THE TRADITIONAL WAY
Many secondary schools still rely on visitor books, spreadsheets or disconnected systems to record who is on site. With hundreds of pupils, staff and visitors moving through site each day, these traditional processes make it harder to maintain accurate records, protect pupils and respond confidently in an emergency when it matters most.
Manual sign-in queues
Unverified visitors
No DBS checks
Limited reporting
Unreliable fire lists
Illegible records
Custr is a secondary school check-in system that brings pupil, staff, visitor and contractor check-ins together in one secure place.

Features to strengthen pupil safeguarding
-
Visitor categories
Separate visitors, contractors, supply staff and trainees into their own check-in journeys, so each group is asked exactly what your safeguarding policy requires.
-
Document signing
Present your safeguarding policy at check-in, capture a digital signature and keep a secure record for every visitor and contractor on site.
-
Visitor badge printing
Print a badge at check-in so staff can instantly identify who is on site and why, at a glance, from across the room to help with pupil safeguarding.
-
Visitor screening
Pre-screen visitors and contractors against a watchlist or restricted list before they arrive, so anyone who shouldn't be granted access is flagged during check-in.
-
Evacuation lists
Give authorised staff instant access to a live, up-to-date evacuation list during a drill or emergency, so everyone on site can be accounted for quickly and accurately
-
Health & safety popup
Display a health & safety popup on the device screen before visitors and contractors check-in which must be digitally agreed before the check-in process begins.
Bring staff check-ins into the same central platform.
Manage staff attendance from arrival through to departure with a secure digital experience tailored to your secondary school. Track off-site status, notify colleagues automatically and maintain live attendance records for a large teaching staff.

Custr integrates securely with the leading MIS providers used in UK secondary schools, giving your team read and write access to keep student, staff and visitor data accurate without manual intervention. Connecting check-in directly to your MIS removes duplicate data entry, cuts admin time and keeps records consistent across every year group.
Secure MIS integration with write access.

REAL-TIME DASHBOARD
See who's on site right now, spot late arrivals or early leavers as they happen, and pull full records on demand, all from a single, real-time dashboard built for safeguarding, attendance and control across a large site.
Under Martyn's Law, schools with 200 or more people on site must have clear evacuation, lockdown and communication procedures in place, and be able to show they work. Custr gives authorised staff a live on-site list to manage evacuations, separate lockdown procedures to keep people secure, and instant notifications to keep everyone informed, all backed by reports ready for audit.
Support Martyn's Law at your secondary school.
