Don't book another software demo. Design your own.
You've spent years developing an approach that works for your pupils and staff. Why should you have to change it to suit somebody else's software?
Bring your assessment spreadsheet, your planning documents or your biggest frustration. Tell us what you'd do differently if the software were yours to design.
“Our school works differently.” That’s a good place to start.

Data & privacy
Your school’s data deserves care.
School data is accessed through authenticated accounts. We’ll talk through access controls, hosting and the information your school needs to review Tyfu properly.
Do we really get to try our own system before paying?
Yes. We agree a first version, build it, and let you see it working before you decide whether to subscribe. If it isn't right for your school, there's no charge and no obligation.
Can you really build our software in a week?
For a clearly agreed first version, seven days from scoping is our target. More complex projects may take longer. We'll explain what's achievable before starting.
What happens at a Tyfu design workshop?
You show us how your school works, what's frustrating, and what you wish your software could do. Bring your spreadsheets or planning documents, or simply bring your ideas. We'll work out a realistic first version together.
Can you use our existing planning or assessment approach?
Yes. Show us the formats and criteria you use, and we’ll work through how to bring them into Tyfu. The aim is to keep what works and make it easier to use.
Can different year groups work differently?
Yes. A Nursery assessment approach can be different from the rest of the school. Your requirements shape the setup.
How quickly can you make changes?
Useful changes can often happen in days. Bigger requests take longer. Once we’ve seen what you need, we’ll give you a clear scope and timescale.
Does every other school have to want the same feature?
No. A request can be worth exploring because it matters to your school. Tell us the problem you want to solve.
Do all our staff need to be involved from the start?
You can start by reviewing Tyfu yourself, or bring your staff into the conversation when that’s useful. We’ll work with the approach that suits your school.
The Tyfu Design Challenge
What would your school build if it could have anything it needed?
Forget what your current software can and can't do. Tell us what you actually want.
We'll work out a first version, build it and send you a link to try — before you decide whether to pay.
Here's what happens
01
Tell us your challenge.
Share the problem, the spreadsheet or your dream workflow.
02
We'll design it with you.
A workshop to agree what your school needs and what we'll build first.
03
Try the system you designed.

Your school. Your ideas. Your software.
