| How
much does School Life cost?
School Life is sold on a “site licence”
basis i.e. you can install it on one server and any
number of “client” PCs connected to the
school’s local area network. The price is based
on the number of pupils. The price for an average sized
(230 pupils) primary school is £825 + VAT for
the first year and £412 for the second and subsequent
years which, depending on the number of PCs involved
can result in a price of less than £15 per PC.
Prices include support and new software releases. Contact
us for a detailed quote for your school.
What are the technical requirements

and laptop PCs purchased in the last 3-4 years and running
Windows 2000 or XP with 256Mb of memory or more. Click

us if you have any queries.
Does School Life link with SIMS?
School Life does not link directly with SIMS but the
only real area of overlap is in the setting up of pupils
in the ‘People’ function. To facilitate
this School Life can import bulk pupil data via a spreadsheet
using data which can be easily output from SIMS.
How much time will all this take
to set up?
Once the software has been installed on the school server
and PCs by your technician (or a LifeStyle Software
technician if you wish) it only takes a short while
to get the software set up and ready to be used by staff
and pupils. The software is provided with a comprehensive
loose leaf full colour user guide which explains how
the software works and provides worked examples for
common tasks. Because the software is networked all
users share a common database so updating School Life
is a collective effort!
What support does LifeStyle Software
provide for School Life?
The software has been designed, written and tested by
developers with many years of high quality commercial
experience so it is very reliable. Should you experience
any problems they can place a support call via e-mail
or telephone and we will provide assistance. New releases
which include additional features and fixes are provided
at least once per year and are included free of charge
within the annual fee.
Can School Life be used in secondary
schools?
Certainly! Our demonstration data and screen shots illustrate
its use in primary schools but School Life can also
be used very effectively in secondary schools and even
colleges and universities. Contact
us with your requirements and we’ll explain
if and how you could use School Life.
