independent school admissions software Designed Just For You

The school admissions office in an independent school plays a critical and unique role of assisting parents through what can sometimes be a complex application process. Welcoming children & parents from all over the world to experience a learning environment that is second to none, we believe that they need to be empowered with the tools to demonstrate the excellence of the school right from the initial enquiry.
The HEIApply system is designed to streamline the admissions process for international and independent schools enabling them to streamline the admissions process. Our intuitive admissions system is responsive to your existing processes and ambitions, enabling the ultimate applicant journey to maximise applications and school place take-up.

The Challenge


Independent Schools are home to ambitious students from different regions across the globe. We know that means hundreds of applications from families trying to secure a place for quality education.

We know that families are looking for the best schools and teachers, which means there is a high degree of competition. You need to stand out in order to not just survive but thrive as an school that is dedicated towards excellence!


As if this wasn’t complex enough, the admissions process is intricate, involving school visits and academic assessments from the beginning. High levels of manual effort are involved in tracking potential applicants and pulling together information that enables offers to be made.

Independent Schools are at risk of falling short on delivering the applicant journey that modern day families expect. A disjointed and slow enrolment process can undermine the carefully crafted learning experience your school offers.

Our Solution

We recognise the need for Independent Schools to operate efficiently, effectively and competitively. We know that speed and cost efficiency are hugely important.HEIapply is a comprehensive and powerful admissions management system that provides the ultimate pupil recruitment and admissions CRM system for your whole team. It doubles up as a portal for parents & an admissions-focused information management system for the school.

Yes! The HEIapply Applicant Portal is designed to create an easy and seamless applicant journey. The parent can register, begin filling out an application and return to it later. Applications are always saved so that the parent can resume later and continue on from where they stopped.

Yes they can! The Applicant Portal comes with an inbuilt Communication Inbox for every applicant. Here the parent can see a log of all communication (including emails, letters or instant messages) with your admissions team and also send new instant messages, should they have any questions or concerns.

This is where the communications inbox comes into play. When logged into the system, the parent is able to send a message to the admin team informing them of the mistake they have made. Any replies from the admin team will be listed here as well.

It is possible to withdraw the application at anytime. The parent can simply use the communication inbox to convey this information to the admin staff who will then be able to make all the necessary arrangements.

Yes it is! The Bulk Email functionality includes creating an Email List using filters that you apply to the data already within the system. You can apply one or as many filters as required to refine or widen the selection of applicants. There is no need to import CSV's, as all applicant email information already exists inside HEIapply.

Yes! You can embed the forms generated by HEIapply on your school's website and link to the HEIapply applicant portal on any relevant page of the website.

Yes! Your admissions team is able to apply searches and filters to run reports on the data inside HEIapply and export the results to csv or pdf format

Both the applicant and admin portals come with an in-built communications inbox meaning both parties are able to keep up to date with the progress of the application process. Here admin staff, once logged in to the dashboard, can simply select the applicant they wish to make contact with a reply to them directly and privately.

Yes! With HEIapply you can pre-define a standard process for each application route which translates to the Application Progress Meter inside each application received by your admissions team. When an admin progresses the application through the stages, automated email notifications are sent out to the applicants and their parents to update them.
