SAM Connect App

SAM’s communication platform, SAMconnect has been designed specifically for schools, academies and multi-academy trusts. It will help you to share hot topics, top tips and important updates with staff wherever they are. Using SAMconnect, you can upload notifications into category sections and choose who they are sent to. The employee can then access these alerts via the app.

Built by education specialists, this app allows you to manage staff communications within the following categories:

School News - Send school specific updates, staff changes or cover plans, contractors on-site, upcoming events
Events - Set up staff briefing sessions or online webinars, inform employees of school events
General - Share Government guidance or best practice information
Policy Update - Notify employees of any policy changes that they need to be aware of including links to the document for them to read
Training - Share any training events or suggestions for training updates
Safety News - Inform employees of any safety concerns or alerts they need to be aware of
Community - Share any community updates such as sports activities, useful community links and partners
Pupils - Share information about pupil welfare, events for pupils or key lesson information
Staff - Share with employees wellbeing tips, notify them of pay updates and other staff related news
