CPOMS Systems

What CPOMS Systems does

CPOMS Systems Limited, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Skipton, North Yorkshire, is a UK-based SaaS company that provides safeguarding, wellbeing, and pastoral management software to educational establishments. The platform, branded as "Universal Safeguarding," is built around CPOMS StudentSafe, a cloud-based core system for recording and managing child protection, safeguarding, behaviour, wellbeing, attendance, and medical concerns with time- and user-stamped audit trails. Modular add-ons extend the platform: CPOMS StaffSafe covers staff safeguarding concerns, CPOMS Engage enables secure multi-agency data sharing between schools, MATs, and local authorities, CPOMS Insight provides Power BI-driven analytics dashboards for trust-level oversight, CPOMS VisitorSafe adds safeguarding-first visitor management, and the CPOMS Staff App delivers mobile recording. The underlying architecture emphasises role-based access control, real-time data synchronisation, and an integration layer spanning 20+ MIS systems (SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, iSAMS, PowerSchool) plus monitoring, wellbeing, and medical partners.

The business operates on a quote-based annual subscription model with optional bundle pricing and a 5% NDNA member discount for nurseries. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining enterprise field sales for MATs, local authorities, and large nursery chains with inside sales for individual schools, supported by G-Cloud 14 public-sector procurement, partner associations (COBIS, NDNA, NSPCC), and content marketing. The customer base spans 20,000+ establishments across UK schools, international schools (270 schools in 68 countries), MATs, LAs, nurseries, FE colleges, sports clubs, and charities, yielding an estimated ~83% share of English schools. CPOMS was acquired by Raptor Technologies, a U.S. school safety software company, in 2024, and continues to operate from Skipton as a UK subsidiary within the Raptor group. Security and compliance posture is anchored by Cyber Essentials and stated ISO 27001 alignment, with G-Cloud 14 supplier status enabling public-sector sales.

Others

• Bromcom: UK cloud MIS with its own pastoral module (Pastoral Hub). Functions as both a CPOMS integration partner and a partial substitute at the pastoral-management layer for schools already on Bromcom.
• Medical Tracker: UK school medical incident management software trusted by 3,300+ schools. Recently integrated with CPOMS StudentSafe (June 2026), representing an adjacent category (first-aid/medical) that complements rather than competes with safeguarding records.

Broad incumbents

• Arbor Education: UK MIS used by 7,000+ schools and MATs. While primarily a management information system, it includes pastoral functionality and competes at the edge of CPOMS's category while also integrating as a partner.
• Raptor Technologies: US leader in school safety software and CPOMS's parent company since the 2024 acquisition. Operates across visitor management, emergency management, and safeguarding in North America — overlapping with CPOMS's product portfolio in a different geography.
• Lightspeed Systems: US-headquartered K-12 online safety monitoring (Lightspeed Alert) integrated with CPOMS. Provides 24/7 monitoring for self-harm, suicide and violence — overlapping with CPOMS's safeguarding mission across geographies.
• Impero Software: Broader UK classroom management, online safety, and safeguarding software provider. Offers overlapping functionality to CPOMS as part of a wider portfolio of school technology tools beyond pure safeguarding.

Direct peers

• MyConcern (Impero Software): UK-headquartered safeguarding software for schools, now part of Impero Software. Direct competitor to CPOMS StudentSafe, serving UK and international schools with similar pupil safeguarding workflows and statutory alignment.
• Securus: UK school monitoring and safeguarding platform focused on cyberbullying, self-harm, and online safety detection. Competes for safeguarding budgets and integrates with CPOMS while offering standalone monitoring alternatives.
• Senso: UK cloud-based monitoring and safeguarding software for schools, covering online safety, behaviour management and asset tracking. Overlaps with CPOMS in safeguarding use cases while competing for school technology budgets.
• Smoothwall: UK school web filtering, monitoring and safeguarding platform protecting over 1,400 schools. Competes with CPOMS in the safeguarding visibility layer and integrates with it, representing an adjacent-overlap peer.
