"The system is very easy to use.
As well as a convenient tool for knowing exactly where pupils are, it has allowed pupils to indicate easily where they are going, when they left and when they return without scrambling to a piece of paper in the house. That alongside the very important but secondary safeguarding records have all ensured great security at Eton.
The Orah app to allow remote access to check-in and check out in real-time has been very helpful in terms of usability, safeguarding and security."
- Anna Kempster, Head of IT Systems

"The pilot period initially allowed us to achieve "buy-in" from faculty before fully transforming the system. For our fire drill, we have a preset response plan where all students assemble in the gym for a roll check. The roll is quickly taken and Dan was able to walk through and reconcile any missing kids with Orah.
This was unbelievable effective. There was one student who was unaccounted for and didn't come to campus, but because it was already in the system, we knew exactly which student was missing within minutes."
- Daniel Skoglund, Director of Diversity & Student Affairs
"We were concerned about the big change of moving from pen and paper to a very electronic system. I think we were worried about the ways that it could malfunction and how some of our faculty might be intimidated by the technology. We didn’t really have any real concerns about what the program could do, rather we were more concerned about how much of a cultural shift it would be to the whole community.
[But] it was actually incredibly smooth for us. I spent a bit of time on the front end making sure I knew how to use it and in the first couple weeks of school, I just walked around with the person on duty and asked if they had any questions or concerns. The kids didn’t even bat an eye. They love it. They think it’s easier. It’s their world. The faculty were a little intimidated at first but as soon as they got the hang of how to use it, it worked seamlessly with them."
- Ashley McDowell, Dean of Students

"I don't think you can look a parent in the eye and say 'we are doing everything we can' if you don't have Orah on your campus."
- Andrew Wright,
Foxcroft Academy, USA
"We use [Orah] to immediately learn what has been taking place leading up to that moment - who is sick, who is off campus, who missed the breakfast roll. All of this information is in one place."
- Antxon Iturbe,
St Anne's Belfield School, USA
"[Orah is] a system that is very easy to use, easy to maintain, and set up with great uses across the entire entity of a school."
- Anna Kempster,
Eton College, UK
"Students are starting to get more engaged just because of the way we're able to communicate and share information with them"
"Orah is a clean platform that allows you to see and track any concerns with students. You can see if they're not participating, eating regularly, or leaving the building. Those are incredibly helpful pieces that facilitate meaningful conversations"
"Orah ensures that you are on the top of your game when it comes to making sure that students are safe and accounted for. After using Orah, I can’t imagine operating without it now."
"The checkpoint kiosk has provided a professional way to manage the sign in/out of the pupils and staff, which supports the safeguarding of pupils. The system is very easy to use, allowing proper management of access to Boarding Houses."
Orah’s security and privacy program is based on and aligned with industry-standard frameworks, and we maintain a comprehensive suite of certifications and attestations to further demonstrate our commitment to security and privacy.
