Parents at a growing number of British schools have received an email inviting them to sign up for something called Talaxy. It is the parent portal and school data platform developed by TASC Software, a UK education technology company, and it is designed to replace the jumble of separate systems schools once used for attendance, behaviour, timetables, reports and parent communication.
Talaxy is a modular, cloud-based platform: schools pick the parts they need, staff log behaviour and attendance in seconds, and parents get a live view of their child’s school life. This guide explains what it does, who it is for, and how it differs from an unrelated AI company that shares the name.
BLUF: Talaxy is a modular school data management platform by the UK’s TASC Software that combines attendance, behaviour, timetables, reports and parent communication in one cloud-based system. Schools access it alongside or instead of their existing MIS, parents use it as a portal after receiving a school invitation, and pricing starts at just over £1,000 per year according to a 2026 review listing.

The Talaxy Platform: One System Instead of Many
The core pitch is consolidation. Many schools run one system for registers, another for behaviour, a third for parent messaging and a fourth for reports — each with its own login, its own data and its own licence fee. Talaxy is designed to fold those functions into a single web-based platform so that staff enter information once and it flows everywhere it is needed.
Because it is a progressive web application, there is nothing to install and no app-store updates to manage; it runs in a browser on phones, tablets, laptops and desktops. Staff can log attendance or a behaviour incident in seconds, leaders get live overviews across classes, year groups or whole trusts without building manual reports, and administrators can automate routine jobs such as generating reports or managing parents’ evening bookings.
The modular design is central to the offer. A primary school might start with attendance and parent communication; a large secondary might add seating plans, detention management, CPD tracking and room booking. Modules are priced per pupil, so schools pay only for what they switch on, and the system can expand as needs change. Integration with existing management information systems means schools do not have to rip out their current MIS to adopt it.
For Parents: The Parent Portal
For most families, Talaxy arrives as the school’s parent portal. The school sends an invitation email; parents click the link, create an account (registration with an email address or via Google or Facebook sign-in is offered at some schools), verify it, and can then log in from any browser. Schools typically issue logins when a child joins, and the school office can reissue invitations that go missing.
Once inside, parents can usually see attendance figures, timetables, behaviour and detention records, homework, and published reports, depending on which modules the school has enabled. The portal also handles practical tasks: updating emergency contact details, reporting a child’s absence, messaging teachers, and booking parents’ evening appointments. Because it is web-based, schools often recommend adding the site to a phone’s home screen so it behaves like an app.
If you cannot log in, the school’s data or office team is the right first contact — account access is controlled by the school, not by TASC Software directly.
A Different Company With a Similar Name
A web search for “Talaxy” surfaces a second, entirely separate company: Talaxy.ai, which describes itself as an AI-powered workforce consultancy offering talent search and white-collar automation for growing businesses. It has no connection to TASC Software’s school platform; the shared name is coincidence.
This matters because the two sell into completely different worlds — one into education, one into corporate hiring — and their websites, pricing and support channels are unrelated. Anyone evaluating or logging into the school platform should make sure they are on their school’s Talaxy address (typically something like yourschool.talaxy.app) rather than the AI consultancy’s site.

Schools choose the modules they need, and the system works alongside existing MIS platforms like SIMS, Arbor or Bromcom.
How do parents log in to Talaxy?
Parents receive an invitation email from their child’s school with a registration link. After creating and verifying an account, they log in through a browser at their school’s Talaxy address.

Parents do not pay to use the parent portal — it is provided as part of the school’s subscription. Schools pay for the platform itself; a 2026 review listing puts pricing from about £1,076 per year for smaller establishments, with additional modules priced per pupil, but exact pricing should be confirmed with TASC Software.
Which company makes Talaxy?
The school platform is made by TASC Software (TASC Software Solutions Ltd), a UK education technology company whose earlier products include PARS and INSIGHT. It is unrelated to Talaxy.ai, a separate company offering AI recruitment and automation services.
