COMMON QUESTIONSWhat would this mean
What would this mean
for your school?
Thinking about your own school?
We’re happy to talk it through.
Does this replace Veracross?+
No. Pastoral works alongside Veracross, using its pupil details and attendance information. Notes, referrals, support plans and follow-up actions are recorded in Pastoral.
Can teaching staff see every pupil’s history?+
No. Staff can find a pupil and send a referral without seeing their pastoral history. Access to that history depends on their role and assigned year groups.
Who is the workspace for?+
Pastoral leads, form tutors, attendance champions and other school staff. Some colleagues will mainly send referrals; others will review pupil history, manage support and run meetings.
What does getting started involve?+
We’ll talk through your Veracross connection, Microsoft staff sign-in and who needs access to which year groups. Your team will also need to check that the attendance figures are being read correctly before using the system live.
