About us

We are a growing company building upon our continued success. Our teams are professional, friendly people who pride themselves on delivering first-class software solutions to our end users in a collaborative working environment.

About GO 4 Schools

GO 4 Schools allows staff, students, parents and governing bodies to work with school data to support students’ education. As well as the main web site, there is a mobile app for use by students and parents. At present, GO 4 Schools works in tandem with schools’ Management Information Systems (MISes), but our plans include the delivery of full MIS functionality within GO 4 Schools itself, to allow schools to use it as their sole information system.

All in the team are involved in the production, review and estimation of effort on user stories and in delivering upon them based on prioritisation agreed with the product owner.

The technologies we use at present include ASP.Net, .Net Framework/Core, C#, Azure, REST/JSON, Xamarin, T-SQL, HTML5 & Javascript, and we automate building and testing where possible.
