Classroom Management Software for UK Schools and MATs
Help teachers make better use of classroom technology without letting devices become a distraction.
NetSupport School is classroom management and monitoring software for primary schools, secondary schools and multi-academy trusts. Teachers can monitor pupil screens, manage websites and applications, share lesson content, assess understanding and support individuals directly from their own device.
With support for Windows, macOS, Chromebooks, iOS and Android, schools can manage mixed classroom technology through one established classroom management solution.
Keep pupils focused during digital lessons
A lesson can quickly lose momentum when pupils can’t find the right resource, aren’t sure what they should be looking at or need individual help.
NetSupport School gives teachers practical ways to guide the class, share information and support pupils without repeatedly stopping the lesson.
Screen sharing: Demonstrate a task or explain a concept by sharing the teacher’s screen with the whole class or selected pupils.
Annotation tools: Highlight important information using arrows, shapes, text and other annotation tools on the teacher’s or a pupil’s screen.
Virtual whiteboard: Use an interactive whiteboard to explain ideas visually and invite pupils to contribute when appropriate.
Quick launch: Open the correct website or application on selected pupil devices in one action, reducing time spent getting everyone to the right place.
Hand out and collect work: Distribute files and folders to individuals or groups and collect completed work electronically.
Chat: Give pupils another way to ask questions, discuss work or collaborate with the teacher and other members of the class.
“… Impero didn’t really give our staff members the tools and the ease of managing the classroom. So I looked at NetSupport School in comparison to other solutions, and I spoke to my mates about it and found they had bought into NetSupport. From my research I found NetSupport School was the right choice for my environment in my school. It’s got a nice GUI (graphical user interface), it’s easy to find all the functions and when I tested it out and trialled it with my staff members, it kicked off really well.”

Know what’s happening on classroom devices
Teachers can’t always tell whether pupils are following the lesson simply by looking around the room.
With multiple websites, applications and devices in use, it’s easy for off-task activity to go unnoticed. NetSupport School gives teachers a clearer view of what pupils are doing so they can respond before a small distraction becomes a bigger interruption.
Monitor pupil screens: View classroom screens as adjustable thumbnails, including devices using dual monitors, and focus on an individual pupil when more detail is needed.
Application and website controls: See which applications and websites are being used and choose which resources pupils are allowed to access during the lesson.
Keyboard monitoring: View keyboard activity within approved applications and create lists of relevant or inappropriate words to help identify activity that may need attention.
“We have used NetSupport School for a number of years and have found it to be an effective and evolving provision which enables teachers to deliver content to students in the knowledge that they are on topic.”
– Thomas Deacon Academy
Manage and control student devices
A forgotten password, an off-task device or a computer that needs restarting shouldn’t mean waiting for IT support or bringing the whole lesson to a halt.
Blank or lock screens: Gain the class’s attention by blanking or locking selected screens, keyboards and mice.
Password reset: Reset a pupil’s system password from the teacher’s device when they are unable to log in.
Remote control: Connect to an individual pupil’s screen to provide help, demonstrate a process or resolve an issue without going to their desk.
Power controls: Power classroom computers on or off and log pupils in or out remotely.
Additional device controls: Manage printer use and control access to USB devices and CD/DVD drives where required.
“The features allow the teacher to manage the class effectively across a range of situations. We find it more intuitive to use than rival products, while at the same time being feature-rich.”
– York High School
Classroom assessment and checking student progress
It’s not always obvious which pupils have understood a topic and which need more support.
Rather than waiting until marked work comes back, NetSupport School allows teachers to check understanding during the lesson and adapt what happens next.
Student testing: Create tests using text, images, audio and video. Completed tests can be automatically marked and the results made immediately available to the teacher.
Student surveys: Ask quick questions during or at the end of a lesson to see how confident pupils are with a topic and identify areas that may need revisiting.
Student Journal: Create a record of the lesson containing relevant content, teacher and pupil notes, assessment results and rewards that pupils can refer back to later.
