Edvance is a governance and finance platform built specifically for Irish schools. It helps school principals and board members manage their compliance obligations, policy register, finance reporting, and board meetings in one place.
Instead of chasing documents across folders, email threads, and spreadsheets, Edvance gives your school a single organised system — so you know exactly what is up to date, what needs attention, and what is ready for your next board meeting.
What you can do in Edvance
Dashboard
Your principal cockpit. See a clear summary of your school's current governance position, your top actions across every domain, and what to focus on next.
Board & Governance
Prepare board packs, record meeting decisions, track follow-up actions, and maintain a complete, auditable governance record.
Policies & Compliance
Manage your full policy register from draft to board approval. Track review cycles, maintain evidence, and understand your compliance gaps against Department of Education expectations.
Finance
Review finance data and imports, track readiness, prepare finance summaries for the board, and maintain an honest, board-safe financial oversight record.
Inspection Readiness
See your current inspection readiness score, understand what it is based on, and get a clear path to improving it — all grounded in your real school data, not opaque AI scoring.
Circulars & Guidance
Stay on top of Department of Education publications and regulatory updates relevant to your school, with plain-language impact summaries so you always know what action is needed.
