Schoop

Safe, verified communication for schools and communities with Schoop—alerts, news, events, and messaging without moderation. Schoop is a communication and engagement platform designed for education, businesses, charities, clubs, and community organizations. Built to keep communications secure, cyber-bully free, and easy to manage, Schoop removes the need for internal moderation while ensuring messages reach the right people. 

Safe and Verified Communication

Schoop ensures that communications are secure and sent only to verified subscribers. Users who provide contact details are verified by email or mobile number, enabling confidence when sending private messages or creating private groups. This approach guarantees that sensitive communications reach the intended audience while maintaining a safe environment.

Inclusive Community Reach

Schoop is designed to include everyone involved in an organization, not just a limited group. In schools, this may include parents, guardians, extended family members, carers, teachers, governors, community representatives, and students themselves. Unlimited messaging ensures that communication scales easily, regardless of how many people are connected.

Clear Alerts and Organized Information

Important alerts stand out and are not lost among SMS messages or junk emails. News items are sorted by date, making updates easy to follow. Events include “add to calendar” functionality, ensuring important dates such as holidays, meetings, trips, and special days are not missed.

Flexible Channels and Personalization

Multiple Schoop channels can be added within a single app. Users can select the years, groups, and preferred languages relevant to them, creating a personalized communication experience. Automatic translation into 40 languages ensures messages are delivered in a language subscribers understand.

Tools for Schools and Organizations

Schoop offers a simple setup process that takes only minutes. An online management console with a mobile-friendly alert creator allows organizations to send unlimited alerts, news, and events. Features include private and group messaging, private groups, surveys and forms with multiple question types, and calendar and news feed imports. Schoop also integrates with websites and Twitter for wider reach.

Reliable Engagement Without Intermediaries

Messages bypass intermediaries and reach the intended recipients directly, ensuring important information such as closures, reminders, homework notices, and event updates are delivered on time. This direct communication improves engagement and reduces misunderstandings.

Schoop supports environmentally friendly communication practices by reducing paper usage. Ongoing free support ensures organizations can continue to communicate effectively without added complexity.
