Why we exist

Prepare for the Unexpected

Clear and immediate communication isn't just helpful in a crisis — for a school or MAT, it's critical. Your ability to respond quickly and demonstrate control is what protects your pupils, your staff, and your school's standing.

The Calling Tree Company exists to make sure your school stays connected, informed and calm when every minute counts. We understand what's at stake: your Staff, Procedures and Reputation. Whether it's a site lockdown, a building evacuation, a safeguarding incident, or adverse weather closure — we help you deliver the right message at the right time, so everyone knows exactly what to do.

No phone trees. No confusion. Just clear, reliable communication — evidenced and auditable.

Pre-approved messages

Time Saved. Stress Avoided.

No more scrambling for the right words in the middle of an incident. Build a library of pre-approved messages — written when heads are cool — and call them up instantly when they're not.

With one click, your school can alert all staff to a building evacuation, coordinate the response to a safeguarding concern, or notify the right people about a site security issue. Communication is immediate, consistent, and documented — removing the stress of manual coordination and saving hours of leadership time.

Alerts go out simultaneously by SMS, voice call, and mobile app. You see exactly who has received, read, and responded — in real time.

Pre-approved messages for school incidents

Audit. Evidence. Control.

Better Compliance. Fewer Risks.

Schools and MATs operate under significant scrutiny. When something goes wrong, Ofsted, governors, and local authorities will want to know what you did and when. Meeting your obligations under safeguarding and health & safety legislation means proving you have effective communication and continuity plans in place — not just written down, but demonstrably working.

With The Calling Tree, every message sent is logged, timestamped, and exportable. You have a complete audit trail of who was alerted, when, and how they responded — supporting your incident response and providing clear evidence of due diligence.

Whether it's an Ofsted inspection, a post-incident debrief, or a fire drill report — you'll have everything you need, ready to produce.

Critical documents & plans

More Than Just Smart Messaging

Resilient schools don't just communicate — they prepare. Store and share your emergency procedures, safeguarding protocols, and evacuation maps securely through the app, so staff can access them wherever they are.

From the classroom to a remote working location, your team always has the right information in their pocket — helping them act quickly and confidently, without needing to call anyone or search through old emails.

A mobile phone is probably the only thing you can guarantee your staff will have close at hand 24/7. We make that device your school's most powerful continuity tool.
