Joyned for Education
The secure communication app creating safer, stronger school communities.
Joyned helps schools simplify communication while ensuring safety. The app is designed to provide a safe, compliant platform for staff, students, and parents to communicate effectively while prioritising safeguarding and well-being.
Why Schools Need Better Communication Tools
Schools are dynamic and complex environments. From school trips and extracurricular activities to managing safeguarding and staff collaboration, effective communication is vital to ensuring success. Many schools, however, rely on fragmented tools like personal messaging apps, emails, or paper-based systems that are cumbersome, non-compliant, and unsafe.
Joyned aims to change this with a purpose-built app designed to streamline communication, protect personal data, and support the unique needs of schools.
The Platform to Safeguard Students and Staff
Schools face unique challenges when it comes to building safe, connected communities. Joyned is designed to create a secure, controlled environment where all communication takes place. This approach will not only protect personal data but also support safeguarding policies and promote professional boundaries for staff.
From school trips to pastoral care, Joyned intends to ensure that communication is structured, compliant, and fit for purpose. Staff and parents can trust that their messages are safe, targeted, and effective.
Simplifying School Communication in a Complex World
The GDPR-Compliant Solution for Secondary Schools
Using personal devices for work-related communication can lead to blurred boundaries and burnout for teachers. Joyned will provide a professional, dedicated platform for school communication, helping educators maintain a healthy work-life balance.
By separating personal and professional communication, Joyned will also support the safeguarding of both students and staff. Messages will remain within the platform, providing a clear and secure boundary for all interactions.
I would definitely recommend Joyned to churches both large and small who want to improve their internal communications in an easy and GDPR compliant way.
We needed a way to keep our teams connected without mixing work and personal life. WhatsApp wasn’t built for that. I’ve already recommended Joyned, especially because of the confidence it gives us in data privacy.
Joyned was a game-changer for our event team communication (1000+ volunteers): from the user-friendly interface to the ability to manage different groups for various purposes, this easy-to-use app has vastly improved our communication with volunteers, boosting productivity and satisfaction.
I would definitely recommend Joyned to organisations both large and small who want to improve their internal communications in an easy and GDPR compliant way.
Joyned has been a game changer for our team! It’s really useful being able to create groups specific to services and events which means that not everyone is spammed with information. I would definitely recommend Joyned as a communication tool to other churches and teams.

Features to Serve Your School
The Education Communication App Delivering Safety without Compromise
Here are some of the features that Joyned can provide for schools:
Built-in Safeguarding Tools
Tools like activity logs and post-reporting will provide oversight, allowing school leaders to monitor group activity and address concerns as needed, ensuring a secure communication environment.
Activity logs provide schools with a clear record of interactions within the platform, helping to maintain accountability. By allowing leadership to review flagged content and monitor communication trends, Joyned supports a safer, more transparent, and well-managed communication environment.
Data Protection & GDPR Compliance
Joyned will ensure all communication is legally compliant, safeguarding sensitive data and promoting trust among staff, students, and parents. The app will prevent the sharing of personal information such as phone numbers or email addresses, keeping everyone secure.
Schools can reduce the risks associated with personal messaging apps or fragmented communication tools by using a centralised and compliant platform. This ensures that sensitive information remains protected, giving peace of mind to staff, students, and parents alike.
Customisable Group Communication
Schools can create targeted groups for specific purposes, such as classrooms, school trips, or extracurricular activities. These groups will be easy to manage and ensure communication is always relevant.
For example, teachers can set up groups for specific classes or year groups, ensuring students and parents receive updates directly related to them. This streamlined approach keeps communication organised and avoids confusion caused by broad, untargeted messages.
Temporary Groups for Events
Joyned will allow groups to automatically archive once the activity is complete. Whether for a school trip or a sports day, this feature keeps communication focused and reduces clutter by removing outdated conversations.
This feature is particularly useful for reducing administrative workload. By automatically closing unnecessary groups, Joyned helps staff focus on current priorities and prevents parents from being overwhelmed with irrelevant or outdated information.
Flexible Permissions
Administrators can control group access and posting rights. For example, announcement-only groups can ensure important updates stay clear and focused, while other groups allow open collaboration where needed.
This flexibility makes it easy to manage diverse communication needs. Whether sending urgent updates or creating interactive spaces for planning, administrators can set up permissions that best suit each group’s purpose while maintaining structure and efficiency.
Centralised Administration
The admin portal will give schools a complete overview of communication channels, simplifying management for individual schools, multi-academy trusts or larger organisations. It will make onboarding, adjusting permissions, and tracking activity seamless.
By offering a single point of control, the admin portal will save time and reduce errors in communication management. This centralised approach ensures that staff can easily maintain oversight and make quick adjustments to adapt to changing needs.
